The aim of this SSHRC funded research project is to consider the nature of precarity in relation to age; to extend thinking on precarity into later life, and explore how trajectories and vulnerabilities (low income, disability, and immigration) that are produced in contemporary society can affect late life.
About The Precarity and Aging Project
Research
Our research draws on different methods to understand and account for precarious trajectories in relation to contemporary aging, expected life course transitions and dominant success-based models of aging.
Finding / Outcomes
Data from this project will provide insight into the life trajectories of older people, outline the service barriers that exist for people ‘aging precariously’ with regards to low-income, ability and status.
