Abstract:
The aim of this special issue is to examine the relationships between support for older people and various socio-demographic, cultural and policy factors in selected European countries and the United States, using the international comparative perspective developed by the members of the Family Support for Older People: Determinants and Consequences (FAMSUP) network. Four of the included papers were delivered by network members at a symposium on ‘Family Support for Older People: International Comparisons’ that was held at the International Sociological Association (ISA) Inter-Congress Conference on Ageing Societies and Ageing Sociology: Diversity and Change in a Global World at the University of Surrey, Roehampton, in the suburbs of London (7–9 September 2004). Another paper, by Jim Ogg, a FAMSUP member, and Sylvie Renaut, investigates family networks among older people using data from the Survey of Health and Retirement in Europe (SHARE).

Abstract:
Background: Older people have various physical and mental health needs and often receive help from their family members to perform their daily life activities. This research aimed to explore the meaning of respect for older people in family relationships. Methods: A qualitative study using a content analysis approach was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were performed with sixteen older people and four family members. Results: Three main categories were developed: “respect for personal interests”, “kind and sincere respect” and “respect for autonomy”. Understanding of the meaning of respect for older people was influenced by special expectations from family members in terms of meeting personal needs, consideration of preferences and interests and empowerment and support to help preserve older people’s independence and autonomy. Conclusions: Family members should be informed and educated with regard to their expected roles in family relationships, and should consider respect as an important factor affecting older people’s well-being.

Abstract:
Family relationships play a central role in wellbeing among older adults in Chile. Based on the theory of social production functions, this study examined the relationship between perceived social support from children, partners and relatives, family functioning, self-perceived health and quality of life (QoL) among Chilean older adults. The study used a multi-ethnic sample of Chilean older adults living in rural areas in the regions of Arica and Parinacota (north) and Araucanía (south). A model was analyzed that emphasizes relationships differentiated by the source of support, family functioning and self-perceived health in the explanation of QoL. The results obtained from the structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis showed the existence of indirect relationships of social support from children, partners and other family members via family functioning, while self-perceived health was directly associated with QoL. The findings indicate that family functioning is a main variable in the contrasted model, in addition to confirming the importance of distinguishing the role of the various sources of support. Research is needed to examine in detail intergenerational relationships and other relationships with family members who are significant in the wellbeing of older adults. This research corroborates that family relationships have a specificity that needs to be addressed in gerontological social intervention, as well as continuing along the lines of strengthening or improving existing family ties (more quality) over the quantity of social relationships.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTAlthough the proportion of older people using home care services has significantly increased in East Asian countries, the issue of the relationships between older people and home care workers in the East Asian context has received scant attention from scholars. This exploratory qualitative study aims to explore these relationships under the new Korean long-term care insurance system. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 family carers and private-sector home care service providers (home care workers and provider managers). The findings show that while the majority of family carers interviewed reported that their relationships were good, the majority of service providers' responses were more negative. Service providers stated that they experienced a number of difficulties that affected their relationships with older clients, including excessive demands or sexual harassment by the older people in their care, exposure to unsafe working environments, and poor treatment in terms of pay and conditions. The findings suggest that stable and good relationships between home care workers and their clients have not been secured in Korea's long-term care system.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThis paper examined the relationships between family relations and life satisfaction between the two groups of older people with different hukous in Putian, Fujian, China. Five factors related to family relations: family support network, satisfaction with family support, family harmony, filial support and filial discrepancy, were included in the study. A total of 532 valid questionnaires, 263 and 269 being filled in by older people with agricultural and non-agricultural hukous, respectively, were obtained. Bivariate analyses indicated that five factors were correlated significantly with life satisfaction for both groups of older people. The results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that when controlling for socio-demographic variables, filial support was associated with life satisfaction for both groups of older people; satisfaction with family support and filial discrepancy was only associated with life satisfaction among older people with agricultural hukous; family harmony only contributed to explaining life satisfaction among older people with non-agricultural hukous. The present study confirmed some previous empirical findings, which indicated the importance of family relations to older people's lives, and extended our understanding about the correlates of life satisfaction for the two groups of older people with different hukous in China. Limitations and direction of future studies were also addressed. Meanwhile, the policy and practice implications of the study were discussed in the context of China's social and economic changes.

Abstract:
The post-war period has witnessed considerable change in England affecting family structures and social relationships both within, and between, the generations. In this paper, we report on research which has examined the impact of these changes on the lives of older people. Three urban areas: Bethnal Green and Woodford in London, and Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, are the locations for this project. All three were the subject of classic community studies in the 1940s and 1950s, providing rich material about the family and community life of older people. Using these as a baseline, we have examined changes to the social and family networks of older people over the intervening years. Our research comprised a questionnaire-based survey of 627 older people, followed-up one year later by a series of in-depth interviews with 62 people over the age of 75 (and 19 second generation members in their networks). We also undertook 35 interviews with Indian and Bangladeshi elders in Wolverhampton and Bethnal Green. Findings reported concern the living arrangements of older people and their relationships with network members. In particular, we note the marked trend towards solo living or living in married pairs amongst the white population, and the importance of multi-generation households amongst the two minority ethnic groups. Together with the enduring importance of family and the significance of friends, there are also crucial differences, notably in the ways people maintain contact with members of their networks.

Abstract:
Comparable networks surveys identified the informal relationships which provide social support to older people in urban Japan, provincial Japan, and urban Australia. Spouses, daughters, and sons were major providers of expressive support in all areas. Older Australians had more expressive support from friends while older Japanese had more instrumental support from daughters-in-law. The gender of the older people and their close ties were highly significant in all areas. The many similarities in the social support patterns contrast sharply with East and West differences in cultural prescripts and living arrangements. In these two advanced countries with long life expectancies and high living standards, older people's interpersonal relationships may be converging on the basis of selective affection and choice, rather than obligation, with individuals in and beyond the household and family.

Abstract:
Perhe on suhdeverkosto, jolla on perustavanlaatuinen merkitys ikääntyneiden ihmisten hyvinvoinnille ja voimavaroille, mutta perhe-elämä sisältää myös varjopuolia. Vanhuspolitiikan nykyisten linjausten mukaan perheen odotetaan vastaavan yhä enemmän ikääntyneen ihmisen hoivan tarpeisiin, mikä voi osaltaan lisätä perhesuhteissa koettuja paineita tai ristiriitoja. Tässä artikkelissa kuvataan, miten gerontologisen sosiaalityön asiakkaita koskevissa asiakirjoissa (n=31) rakennetaan käsitystä ikääntyneiden perhesuhteista sekä niissä ilmenevistä hyvinvointia tukevista ja vaarantavista tekijöistä. Aineistosta paikannettiin diskurssianalyysin keinoin kolme tulkintarepertuaaria, joissa perhesuhteita lähestyttiin ongelmien, familismin ja sidoksellisuuden näkökulmista. Perhesuhteet voivat vanhuuden vaiheessa sisältää haavoittavia tekijöitä perhesukupolvien välillä, vaikka ne samanaikaisesti sisältävät myös avun elementtejä. Läheissuhteet eivät kuitenkaan ole vain avun lähde, vaan ne liittyvät relationaalisiin tarpeisiin. Ikääntyneiden perhesuhteiden tuen tarpeisiin yhdistyy rakenteellisia tekijöitä, kuten palvelujärjestelmän haasteet vastata perheenjäsenten yhteenkietoutuviin palvelutarpeisiin. The discursive construction of family relations in the case files of gerontological social work clients Family life matters for older adults’ wellbeing. Consequently, dysfunctional family relationships may create a substantial threat to well-being in old age. The decreasing role of institutional care has increased pressures on family members to participate in the care for older people in Finland. This study analysed how the family life of older people is perceived and described in gerontological social work client case files (n=31). This discourse analytic study identified three interpretative repertoires that approached family relationships as a problem, resource, and relation. The findings indicate that family relationships in old age can contain factors that increase vulnerability, although they simultaneously include elements of help. Families of older people are often given meaning as a resource for the service system. However, close relationships are not only a source of help, but rather a part of relational needs. In the intertwined service needs of family members, structural factors and challenges in the service system are combined to provide adequate support.

Abstract:
The study problem was that sane individuals found institutionalizing a family member stressful, and family members required assistance in coping. The purposes of the study were to examine threat appraisal, degree of threat, and coping responses in a sample of family members of newly institutionalized elderly. The study was a descriptive correlational investigation which utilized Lazarus' theory of stress and coping as the theoretical framework.There were 21 questionnaires received from a convenience sample obtained through four nursing hens in the vicinity of a small city in Indiana. Five major categories of threat were identified. A high degree of threat was associated with each category. Both problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping were utilized.Pearson product-mcinent correlation was used to determine that no significant relationship existed between coping responses utilized and degree of threat. ANOVA was used to reveal that there were no significant differences between coping responses utilized and demographic variables. Each scale was determined to be reliable by usage of Cronbach's alpha.

Abstract:
A descriptive study was conducted to examine the relationship between family support and elder well-being of a group of ambulatory elders living in the community. Information regarding the elder parent's reporting of the overall support received by adult children and its affect on well-being was sought. Forty five female subjects, aged 65 to 91 years, participated in this study. The subjects completed a questionnaire which included the Demographic Questionnaire, Family Support Exchange Questionnaire, Family APGAR, and Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale. The sample population was homogeneous and no significant correlations were demonstrated between quantity or quality measures of family support and elder well-being. The study findings were consistent with previous studies in that elder parents generally live in close proximity to at least one adult child and have frequent contact with them. Elderly parents were satisfied with the support they received from children and would confide in their children.

Abstract:
When elderly people are cared for In Aged Care Facilities (ACFs) it is known that their family members frequently suffer negative effects. These effects may be alleviated by social support and, because they feel better, family members may then offer more support to residents. In this study, the researcher tested a model with a sample of 213 family members of ACF residents. Predictive relationships were hypothesised among incentives for family members to support residents, stress related factors, the perceived formal and Informal support of family members, their psychological wellbeing, and the support they offered to residents. The researcher also developed the Relatives' of Aged Care Residents Assessment of Staff Support Tool (RACRASST) to measure family members' perceptions of support from the staff. The researcher developed the RACRASST from data obtained at interviews with family members of ACF residents and ACF staff, and from a review of the literature. The instrument underwent testing and refinement procedures, including a factor analysis. The test-retest reliability co-efficient for the scale was found to be 0.99 over 2-3 days. As used In the study, the RACRASST was a 29-ltem unidimensional scale. Response options ranged from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. A not applicable option was retained to identify Items needing review. Items referred to staff/family member communication, staff care activities, staff use of the environment, and family members' perceptions of a reliable alliance between themselves and the staff. The instrument was re-examined during the study and two items were deleted because of a high percentage of missing/not applicable responses. Cronbach's alpha co-efficient for the 27-item RACRASST was 0.96. Findings of model testing confirmed hypothesised positive predictive relationships between residents' family members' well-being (the dependent variable) and both family members' perceptions of the residents' adjustment and the length of stay. Pressures related to the placement were confirmed as negatively predicting well-being In family members, and the degree to which family members felt attached to residents was confirmed as positively predicting their self-reported support of residents. The familial relationship between the family member and the resident was also confirmed as predicting family members' well-belng. Support from ACF staff was not a significant predictor of family members' well-being, and well-being failed to predict family members' support for residents. An empirical model was also developed. This model accounted for 47% of the variance in family members' well-belng and 23% of the variance In family members' self-reported support for residents. Family members' perceptions of their informal support were found to account for 7% of the variance In support for residents and 5% of the variance in pressures experienced because of the placement. Pressures in family members negatively predicted their health and well-belng, and being a residents' daughter was a positive predictor of pressures. The main conclusion is that informal support is potentially highly beneficial to residents' family members. Accordingly, it is recommended that ACF staff facilitate supportive relationships among family members and residents. Further research to develop and test the RACRASST and to test the empirical model is also recommended.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the intergenerational relationships of people aged 60 and over in the context of rapid population ageing and social change in Vietnam. The country is experiencing significant economic development and rising incomes while maintaining strongly embedded Confucian values and norms on family relationships, including respect for older people and filial piety. These relationships have been affected by the social disruptions of war, and continue to change with modernisation, urbanisation and other social processes that have contributed to modifying traditional norms and values for intergenerational relationships. Changing forms of the family, notable declines in multigenerational households and the rise of the modified extended family have been extensive over recent decades. This thesis aims to examine the variations and changes in living arrangements and intergenerational support exchange, social relationships (association, affection and consensus) and the life satisfaction of older people. The thesis applies concepts in sociology and multidisciplinary gerontology to a comprehensive set of secondary data that inform different aspects of the thesis topic. These include the Vietnam National Ageing Survey 2011 (VNAS 2011) (n = 2,789), the Vietnam Family Survey 2006 (VFS 2006) (n = 13,689), the WHO-SAGE INDEPTH survey 2006–2007 (WSI 2007) (n = 5,030) and the Regional Ageing Survey 1996–1997 (RAS 1996 – 1997) (n = 1,770). VNAS 2011 was used as the primary data source for the thesis as it was the first nation-wide survey on older people in Vietnam. To examine the living arrangements of older people, VNAS 2011 and RAS 1996–1997 have been analysed to investigate determinants and consequences of living arrangements. A majority of older people were found to be living in multi-generational households in 2011 (45%), but the proportion had declined from 56% in 1996–1997. Conversely, the proportions living alone or living only with a spouse have been rising. These findings reflect declining family size along with growing ‘independence’ among older people as they gain more economic resources and better health. No longer married older people are seen more in multi-generational households, living only with children or living alone than those who are married. Older people living alone or only with a spouse were found more in rural than urban areas. Multi-generational households were reported more in cities, which may be because of housing constraints in these areas. Changes in cultural preferences for living arrangements have been enabled by rising resources of the older and middle generations. The investigation provides support for an intergenerational exchange interpretation as a strong association was found between older people’s resources and vulnerabilities and support exchange with their children. As per traditional patrilineal norms, eldest adult sons were expected to continue living in their ageing parents’ households after marriage while they and their wife provide financial and practical support. Older people who have more resources were found to receive more financial support, but they receive less assistance in care and housework from adult children than older people who have fewer resources. Older people who have more resources also provided more assistance to adult children by doing housework and providing grandparenting, especially among those who live in multigenerational households. Social relationships between generations were reported to be changing rather than weakening. Adult children, regardless of their gender, were reported to pay more direct visits to older parents when they live nearby. When they live far apart, the distance was overcome by remittances and telephone communication as well as occasional visits. Daughters were found to be more frequently in their contact with parents than sons when living in separate households. The findings suggest a gender-basis for emotional relationships between generations within families. This thesis found that life satisfaction in later life is best predicted by older people’s health, economic status and living conditions as well as the social relationships among generations. The thesis also provides evidence on the ongoing importance of affectual solidarity between generations and the importance to older people’s life satisfaction of feeling respected by younger generations and participating in making important decisions in the family. This study is one of the first comprehensive studies of intergenerational relations in Vietnam. It suggests the value of an intergenerational approach for policy development towards older people and family relationships as well as the value of an age-friendly environment for older people, particularly for those who are vulnerable. Caution is required in applying the research findings to future generations of older people, who would have had different life experiences.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of this chapter is to compare attitudes towards people over 70 as potential workers in the labour force in countries with different social welfare regimes, cultures, demographic and economic situations. Life course theory/perspective suggests a multidisciplinary paradigm. It suggests to examine how people live in different structural contexts and how economic, social and cultural changes influence attitudes towards older people and their presence in public life. The social context is defined in micro and macro scales (e.g. individual and family situations of persons in different stages of their life, their economic situation, occupational experience, social activities) within different societies. The basic assumption is that a particular life course stage of a person influences subsequent experiences and also attitudes towards seniors. As predicted age, gender, education, and life satisfaction are factors that differentiate attitudes. The differences found in 1990 are still observed to some extent in 2012. A significant proportion of respondents expect older people to withdraw to the private sphere. Some of them expect older people to be active in non-governmental organizations, informal assistance relationships, institutions established for older people which allow the needs of older people to be satisfied. In reality older people are kept on the margins of mainstream public life.The data of World Values Survey conducted in 2012 have been used in the analyses shown in the chapter. Eleven countries have been selected to show the situation in different countries with different history and welfare systems. The data are unique. The set of questions asked internationally in the wave of the study has not been included in the next waves of WVS. However, we may consider that the findings presented in the chapter are important for understanding the actual situation of older people, the perception of their social and cultural capital, the respondents’ willingness to see them as part of labour force and to be included in public life. The recent statistical data and reports show that older people are still poorly represented on decision-making positions in politics and economic institutions.

Abstract:
Abstract A persistent theme in Western culture over many centuries, as we have seen, has been the conviction that younger people in each generation, more than in The past’, neglect their older relatives, even their parents, both emotionally and materially. This belief has survived tenaciously, despite equally persistent assertions to the contrary. Before the twentieth century evidence either way is scanty and anecdotal. The uneven survival of historical sources makes it easier over long time periods to study the structure of households, who lives with whom, than to understand relationships within families, who may, or may not, share a household. Only after the Second World War were there systematic studies of the relationships between old people and their families which clarify the role of intergenerational family relationships within English culture, in the twentieth century.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the importance of protective factors in family relationships. In Confucian societies, where services for older people may be limited, intergenerational family relationships are crucial in providing care for the elderly. Confucian societies are better at recognizing the protective influence of the family, but scholars from these areas suggest that the culture may be changing. As the “One child” norm extends (not only in China) across many Asian societies, the challenges for young people in supporting their parents and grandparents may become overwhelming. This chapter suggests that at every stage of the life cycle, some families will need state support in order to carry out their protective role in mitigating the risks experienced by both the young and the old. A state/family partnership approach is likely to be more acceptable, more effective, and more economic than state care alone.

Abstract Most relationships older people have in a domestic (and institutional setting) are positive, some are not. Violence against older people has been a consistent thread through world literature but public discussions of these private events is a recent phenomenon. From initial ‘response’ letters and articles to child abuse, elder abuse has more recently been addressed within a family violence framework reference.

Abstract:
Abstract Care for the elderly in different settings has in common the centrality of primary care and the family. With attention to the problem of those elderly persons with dependency needs, concerns are focused on the role of the informal support systems. For the most part, this informal care is provided by family. Changing patterns of family relationships precipitated by mobility and altered family structures. raise special concerns about the future of this form of care. In developed countries. as women enter the labour force in greater numbers, they will be less available to provide such care. In developing countries, migration from rural to urban areas and changes in living and working arrangements threaten to leave the elderly with fewer family resources.

Abstract:
Abstract It is a mystery how so many poor people survived so far into old age on the resources described so far. It is improbable that paid work, charity and poor relief on the scale known to be available, however ‘packaged’, could have provided for the survival of most poor old people. Some historians have suggested that support from the family might have filled the gap. Non-historians often take for granted that the family must have been the mainstay of older people in pre-industrial England. On the other hand, historians of the family have created conflicting images of the relationships of old people with their families, and historians of household structure have asserted that younger people had little obligation to support their elders.

Abstract:
Until recently the sex life of older people was more or less invisible in family and gerontological research. This chapter contributes to breaking this silence by focusing on the role and meaning of sex in intimate relationships in later life. Based on biographical case studies, the chapter investigates how sexual norms have changed over the life course of contemporary cohorts of older people and how they have experienced this change. The chapter considers sexual intimacy as part of new intimate relationships established late in life and questions the persistent assumption that older people who date are primarily looking for companionate relationships. It is shown that older people’s ideas about sex are deeply embedded in an ideology of love, where sex tends to be viewed as a natural part of a loving relationship, while sex outside of a loving relationship – also in a loveless marriage – is frowned on.

Abstract:
Introduction: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are more common in young people. There are few studies on STDs in the older population, particularly women. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and characterize, with epidemiological variables, the prevalence of STDs in the female population over 50 years old, in a public reference service in Niterói city, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Methods: The study was carried out at the STD Sector of Universidade Federal Fluminense. It was a descriptive retrospective study of quantitative character, carried out with women aged 50 years or older, attended at the aforementioned teaching, research, and extension unit, from 2000 to 2017. Data collection was performed with documentary research from the records of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sector of Universidade Federal Fluminense. A total of 6,822 records were analyzed, of which 2,363 were of women. Of these, 50 were medical records of women over 50 years old. The variables used were age, education, marital status, use of condom, diagnosis, sexual and behavior characteristics (extramarital relationships and history of homosexuality), skin color, history of STDs, sex education, the number of sexual partners, and family income. Results: There was a higher prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the form of condyloma acuminata in 48% of cases and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I, II, or III in 20%. Syphilis occurred in 14%, genital herpes and trichomoniasis in 6% each, HIV in 4%, and gonorrhea in 2% of cases. Notably, 64% of women had no pathological history of STDs, 6% had a previous diagnosis of syphilis, and 6%, of HPV. The predominant age group was 50–59 (78%), with a higher prevalence in white women (54%). Most patients (66%) reported having one fixed partner, were married (54%), and had no history of extramarital relationships (64%). In addition, 64% of patients had no degree of sex education and 56% lived on less than two minimum wages. Most patients (78%) reported not using condoms. In 50% of cases, the level of education was incomplete primary education and only 8% had concluded higher education. Conclusion: STDs were more frequent in white women who did not use condoms. The most prevalent STD was HPV infection, as condyloma acuminata in pardo women. HPV infection as a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) was the second most common STD in white and pardo women.

Abstract:
The population of Hong Kong is ageing and is expected to gradually increase, and thus an increase in single older people with mild cognitive impairment is expected. This may progress to dementia overtime. By 2064, a third of Hong Kong's total population is expected to be aged 65 or above, which will put extreme pressure on long-term health services and increase social care costs. Studies of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia have mainly been conducted in the west, and evidence-based research addressing the genuine needs of patients with MCI in their daily activities is limited. The home is the central focus of many people's lives, and the elderly will spend most of time in it.The specific objectives of the study are first, to briefly review and explore the common strengths and limitations of public housing in Hong Kong and selected cities; second, to identify the deficiencies of current public housing in terms of universal design and broaden the scope of this approach; third, to develop a model of the relationships among coping strategies for enhancing quality of life, unmet needs and the feeling and concerns of people with MCI living alone.The present ethnographic study is aimed at revealing some of the contemporary concerns about human culture and social interaction. A triangulation study approach is taken, beginning with participatory design workshop followed by participant observations with five residents living alone with MCI, and an in-depth interview with a centre manager who assisted in this study and is a carer for those with dementia.This study suggests that universal design principles are not sufficiently applied in the development of public housing for single elderly people living with MCI. To address this deficit in interior, home furniture and product designs, the concept of a visible reminder has been suggested, which includes multisensory and psychological considerations. Design practitioners should fully utilise this conceptual model when developing universal design furniture for the general public, without stigmatising those with disabilities such as MCI. The coping strategies for improving the quality of life these older people are identified as continued home care and family support, an awareness of universal design principles, social networks and engagement and revisiting public health policies. Governments should take the lead in helping to improve the quality of life of people with MCI through healthcare, social engagement, caring and universal design.

Abstract:
The Research Chair in the Generational Digital Divide undertakes activities aimed at furthering knowledge about the causes, consequences and solutions to the digital divides caused by age gaps. This report shows the research project carried out in 2021 to learn more about how the digital divide affects over 54s living in the Valencia Region, by province, with a focus on intergenerational relationships. To this end, an exploratory survey targeted at over 54s years old and over 39s years old in the Valencia Region, based on primary sources and combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, has been conducted. The data reveals that, while a large percentage of over 54s declare that they have access to and are users of new technologies, much remains to be done for access and usage to become universal, especially at older ages. The report analyses how technology is used, considering its purpose and context, according to age and other significant variables. Differences in technology usage have been found across age groups and between women and men. The report contains information on, among other relevant aspects, online services, and especially on e-banking, the healthcare system and e-administration. Differences between age groups have been found for all indicators, shedding light on intergenerational relationships within the family that are crucial for older people. The Research Chair is an initiative by the Valencia Region Government’s Directorate General for the Fight Against the Digital Divide and stems from the collaboration between the Regional Department for Innovation, Science, Universities and Digital Society and the University of Alicante.

Abstract:
Despite progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates overall in the US and UK, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minoritised and/or deprived communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. COVID-19 ‘vaccine hesitancy’ is not just an issue of misinformation or lack of information. ‘Vaccine hesitancy’ among young people is reflective of wider issues such as mistrust in the state or the medical establishment and negative experiences during the pandemic. This report is based on case study research conducted among young people (ages 12-18) in Cleveland, Ohio, US and the London borough of Ealing, UK. Whilst public discourse may label young people as ‘vaccine hesitant,’ we found that there were differences based on social location and place and this labelling may portray young people as ‘ignorant.’ We found the greatest vaccine hesitancy among older youth (15+ years old), particularly those from minoritised and deprived communities. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives, but instead concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minoritised youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is embedded in a context that drives relationships of mistrust between minoritised and deprived communities and the state, with implications for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Young people’s attitudes toward vaccines are further patterned by experiences within their community, school, family, and friend groups.
