A Research Agenda for Financial Resources within the Household (Elgar Research Agendas)

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This cross-disciplinary Research Agenda offers an in-depth exploration into financial resources within households, focussing specifically on how they are managed, how they are distributed and with what results. Bringing together an array of leading experts from the Global South and North, this Research Agenda examines the challenges facing researchers in this area, investigates developments in the field and analyses how research interacts with current public policy. This book shines a crucial light on multiple underexplored topics including economic abuse, financial resources within multigenerational households, ageing and cognitive decline, and the role of children in relation to resources within households. Offering key recommendations for future policy and research, A Research Agenda for Financial Resources within the Household makes an invaluable contribution to this highly topical area. This book will be a vital read for students, early career researchers and established academics interested in economics, sociology and social policy, amongst other disciplines. It will also prove highly beneficial for professionals working in NGOs, third sector organisations and think tanks who focus on the issues surrounding intra-household resources.
