Research title: The impacts on families and children of long-term private renting

Research Summary

This PhD investigates the impact of long-term private renting for families and children in the UK, in collaboration with the Urban Big Data Centre and the UK Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE).

Using longitudinal data, the research analyses health outcomes across the UK's main housing tenures. In particular, the research focusses on families in the private rented sector (PRS) and those who grew up within it.

The research explores many aspects of the lived experience in the PRS, including tenure insecurity, power and agency and housing conditions. Coupled with analysis of housing markets, social policy and patterns of tenure change, this project assesses how the effects of long-term exposure to the PRS affects those within it and why.
