“…Studies in the US and France find that crowding has negative effects on educational achievement and children’s behavior, perhaps because of lack of quiet space for study and sleep (Conley 2001, Goux & Maurin 2005, Solari & Mare 2012). Children’s outcomes worsen as duration in bad housing lengthens (Barnes et al 2011). Conversely, a study from Mexico observes improved cognitive development following improved housing quality (Cattaneo et al 2009).…”

Few sociologists treat housing as a key independent variable, despite the emergence of disparate bodies of research analyzing how housing affects outcomes that traditionally interest sociologists. Scholars across the social sciences have proposed and tested mechanisms whereby housing could shape subjective wellbeing, socioeconomic status, demography, and politics. We review the evidence for causal effects across these domains. Next, we make recommendations for research designs to advance this literature. Most studies only test effects of homeownership, and most are focused on the United States and Western Europe. The evidence for causation is often weak, although studies increasingly employ complex techniques for identifying effects. Throughout, we emphasize studies beyond the United States, and we conclude by discussing distinctive insights yielded by comparative research. We advocate for a comparative perspective and more expansive conceptualization of housing status as a means to build theory and evidence regarding the conditions under which housing exerts effects.

“…For example, Marsh et al (2000), Pevalin et al (2008) or Navarro et al (2010) find that living in inadequate housing conditions has a negative effect on health. Goux and Maurin (2005) show how living in an overcrowded household can be detrimental to children's educational performance and Barnes et al (2011) that children living for a long time in bad housing conditions are more likely to be confronted to poor outcomes in terms of health or economic well-being. Therefore, policies aiming at improving housing conditions are not only important per se but can also have a positive effect in other aspects of adults' and children's life.…”

“…As could be expected, environmental conditions and child well-being are strictly correlated. Indeed, environmental and housing problems are usually related to poor child outcomes and in particular they can negatively impact not only on child health (Shaw, 2004) but also on their educational achievements (Barnes et al, 2010). The housing and environment dimension encompasses three components: overcrowding, housing problems and environmental conditions.…”

ABSTRACTThis paper compares the well-being of children across the most economically advanced countries of the world. It discusses the methodological issues involved in comparing children's well-being across countries and explains how a Child Well-being Index is constructed to rank countries according to their performance in advancing child-well-being. The index uses 30 indicators combined in 13 components again summarised in 5 dimensions for 35 rich countries. Data from various sources are combined to capture aspects of child well-being: material well-being, health, education, behaviour and risks, housing and environment. The scores for the countries on all variables and combinations of variables are discussed in detail. The Child Well-being index reveals that serious differences exist across countries suggesting that in quite many countries improvement could be made in the quality of the lives of children. This paper is one of the three background papers written as the basis for Report Card 11 (2013) titled Child Well-being in Rich Countries: a Comparative View.
