Living arrangements, health and wellbeing

On 15 November 2007, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) published a report (Living arrangements, health and wellbeing: a European perspective) which uses the European Social Survey, the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing and the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study to analyse associations between living arrangements and health and well-being across Europe and in more detail for England and Wales. It examines the influence of extra-household support, socio-economic status and cultural norms on this association. Additionally for England and Wales, pathways to living arrangements and the effects of these on associations with health are analysed.
