| Summary: | Among the various types of intermediate housing types, from rest homes to in-house support, the self-managed senior co-housing scheme has not yet known a large development in France. It is much more common in Northern Europe, where it appears as a good solution, from an economic point of view – since it allows the reduction of the public costs induced by an ageing population – as well as a social one – as it improves the quality of life of elderly people by focusing on personal autonomy and communal solidarity. This article, based on a study conducted both in France and Germany, explains what self-managed senior co-housing is exactly and questions the reasons why its success is so diverse in the two countries. |
