Resumo

‘Ageing in Place’ es un concepto teórico-práctico utilizado para designar aquellas políticas que facilitan a los mayores la permanencia en la vivienda propia como alternativa a la institucionalización. Mientras la aplicación política del término parece presuponer beneficios universales para aquellos que permanecen en sus viviendas durante la vejez, desde la gerontología crítica se ha cuestionado este hecho, aludiendo a la complejidad del proceso de envejecimiento y a la visión reduccionista que muchas veces subyace a la implementación de estas medidas. Mediante datos de la encuesta SHARE (oleada 1, 2004), este trabajo analiza las características de aquellos adultos mayores, 65 y más años, que envejecen en casa y que presentan una trayectoria residencial de larga duración. Los factores asociados a la duración de esa trayectoria comprenden las características socio-demográficas de los individuos, recursos económicos y sociales y condiciones de vida. Se presta especial atención a las variaciones espaciales, comparando once países de la Europa continental. Este estudio permite avanzar en un tema poco tratado como la inmovilidad residencial, proveyendo evidencias empíricas que cuestionan las premisas sobre las que se implementan las medidas ‘Ageing in Place’, especialmente cuando esto implica una situación de escasez de recursos.
