| Annotation | It is often suggested that, in the future, older people will feel less desire to pass on their wealth to their children and more inclined to use it for personal enjoyment, to meet everyday needs of capital expenditures such as the costs of housing repairs, or to pay care costs. Currently older people appear reluctant to draw on their housing equity, which may be due to a desire to pass it on to their children. This exploratory study reviews the research evidence, and gathers available market research and other industry survey evidence. It presents preliminary analyses of existing national household surveys and other population data, and of attitudinal surveys which have readily usable data. Different methodological approaches that might be used in future studies are discussed. (RH). |
