Description
Summary:The objective is to identify the types of residential mobility among the elderly urban poor based on the care spaces in the households where they live. Data are drawn from two ethnographic studies in Guadalajara, Mexico, with elderly urban poor people. The house is analyzed as a care space based on physical characteristics and the use of domestic space and the family relationships within it to identify the types of residential mobility. Four residential mobility paths show the circumstances for the inclusion or exclusion of home care and residential mobility between a person’s home and an elderly care facility.
