Older persons

This study presents a new conceptualisation of this group, quantifies the scale of the issue, identifies those most affected, and analyses the distribution of wealth among older Australians.
A secondary analysis of qualitative research data using the theory of ontological security to explore the question: How do older adults experience trauma across the transition to housing following homelessness?
