SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTION OF HOUSING PRECARITY BY HOUSEHOLDS IN THE REGIONS OF RUSSIA
2025-06-05 16:57 The issue of housing precarity (affordability, safety and quality of housing) continues to be relevant all over the world for both tenants and homeowners. This statement is supported by a significant increase in the number of publications in recent years by representatives of various scientific fields on this topic in sociological, economic and housing-specific journals. To date, several approaches to measuring housing precarity have already been presented in Europe, the USA and Australia. In 2024, taking into account foreign experience and national specifics of measurements, the author of this article proposed the Regional Housing Precarity Index (RHPI), which takes into account various obj...
HOUSING CONDITIONS OF HOUSEHOLDS AS ONE OF THE INDICATORS OF ECONOMIC PRECARITY
2025-05-13 16:37 Representatives of various, primarily socially vulnerable groups of the population in the modern world are increasingly faced with various life difficulties and uncertainty about the future, which foreign researchers, in combination with other problems (for example, unemployment and unaffordable housing), characterize as "economic precarity". At the same time, studies of housing precarity - instability of the housing situation - also take into account individual financial and economic indicators of households. The purpose of this work is to show the relationship between housing conditions, property rights and economic precarity using the example of Holland, Great Britain and Canada. Keywords...
NOT BY TECHNOLOGY ALONE: THE PRECARITY OF SMART CITIES IN THE MODERN WORLD
2025-02-12 15:09 Precarity is a defining feature of contemporary informational society under global capitalism. While most scholars focus on labor precarization, some highlight broader precarity in living conditions. A key issue today is urban precarity in large metropolitan areas. This article explores precarity in “smart cities” through three sociological lenses: epistemic violence and institutional gaslighting; social inclusion and exclusion; and nostalgia and retrotopia. The analysis draws on studies from the US, Europe, India, Brazil, and Singapore. It concludes that despite the normative appeal of the smart city paradigm, it often overlooks or disregards the needs of marginalized social groups.Keywords...
HOUSING PRECARIAT: SOCIAL GROUP, HOUSING CONDITION OR A HOUSING CLASS?
2024-12-23 16:03 Housing precarity is a contemporary problem of economic and sociological research aimed at studying unstable housing conditions of different categories of the population around the world. However, following the discourse of G. Standing's works on the precariat as a social class, the works of foreign authors increasingly record the little-studied phenomenon of the “housing precariat”, which includes heterogeneous social groups (youth, migrants, unemployed, etc.). Referring to similar studies in European countries, South Korea, Brazil, etc., the author of this article aims to conceptualize the housing precariat and integrate it into the system of housing classes of J. Rex and R. Moore, contras...
HOUSING PRECARITY AS A FACTOR OF SPATIAL MOBILITY IN THE POPULATION OF RUSSIA
2024-10-05 16:26 In the context of spatial mobility research within housing sociology, the author employs correlation and regression analysis to demonstrate a significant relationship between the precarization of housing, as assessed by the developed Regional Index of Housing Precarity (RIHP), and the indicators of population migration growth based on Rosstat data for 2022. Federal districts, particularly the Central district, which exhibit the lowest values of this index, appear to be the most attractive for migration.   Keywords: sociology of housing, housing precarity, precarization of housing, spatial mobility, housing mobility, regions of Russia, federal districts
