| Annotation | A life course approach and retirement migration theory are used to develop a model of future housing expectations and actual moves for men and women in late midlife. Results suggest that late-midlife workers and retirees expect to age in place; expectations to live in highly supportive environments are uniformly low. Older, non-urban, less educated respondents and more years in their home express the strongest expectations of ageing in place. Those who rent their homes, have weaker ties with their communities, and have more symptoms of depression tend to foresee a move in the future. However, physical health does not predict future housing expectations. (RH). |
