ABSTRACT

This research explored the relationship between regional unemployment rates and the community-based housing configuration of older Americans. The analysis used the American Community Survey from 2006 to 2016 to examine regions experiencing high unemployment for differences in the likelihood of older adults to live alone, with a spouse or partner, or in a multigenerational household. Findings demonstrated that under the strain of higher regional unemployment, older adults were less likely to live alone and more likely to live in a multigenerational household. Additionally, older adults with a difficulty that could signify a need for support were less likely to live with a spouse or partner, while those without a difficulty were more likely to live with a spouse or partner. Recession-related safety-net policy should target supports to community-dwelling older adults, particularly those living alone, those with more support needs, with lower income, and older renters, because their housing arrangements may become vulnerable during regional economic contraction. Implications during COVID-19 are discussed.

压力下的家庭构成:地区性失业率和较早的美国住房决策

摘要

这项研究探讨了地区失业率与美国老年人的社区住房配置之间的关系。该分析使用 2006 年至 2016 年的美国社区调查来检查失业率高的地区,以了解老年人独自生活、与配偶或伴侣一起生活或在多代家庭中生活的可能性的差异。调查结果表明,在地区失业率较高的压力下,老年人不太可能独自生活,而更有可能住在多代同堂的家庭中。此外,有困难表明需要支持的老年人不太可能与配偶或伴侣同住,而没有困难的老年人更有可能与配偶或伴侣同住。与经济衰退相关的安全网政策应针对居住在社区的老年人,尤其是独居老人、需要更多支持的人、收入较低的人以及年长的租房者,因为他们的住房安排可能会在区域经济收缩期间变得脆弱。讨论了 COVID-19 期间的影响。
