This book brings together a range of diverse international case studies to illustrate the importance of understanding the causes of population ageing. Case studies include a review of ageing in Florida's (USA) labour force, an investigation into the housing arrangements for the elderly in Northern Ireland and an assessment of the environmental stewardship activities of Grey Nomads on Western Australia's remote north coast.

This project evaluated four case studies using a Context-Mechanism-Outcome framework to explore how state government has delivered affordable housing through a variety of innovations. • The research is part of an evidence-based Inquiry titled 'Increasing affordable housing supply: evidence-based principles and strategies for Australian policy and practice'. • The four case studies are the WA Affordable Housing Strategy, the East Kimberley Housing Transitions Program, the ACT Affordable Housing Action Plan and the NSW Asset Vesting Program. • Affordable housing is defined in many different ways across the Strategies/Programs and a consistent definition should be adopted by all levels of government.

This study examined recent Australian and international practice in planning for affordable housing within new and renewing communities, focusing on South Australia's 15 per cent inclusionary housing target and voluntary incentives for affordable housing in NSW, as well as recent practice in the UK and the US. * Key data sources included policy documents, government reports, and development approval data as well as 23 interviews with planners and affordable housing developers and consultants.

In the context of acute housing affordability pressures in Australia, this Inquiry research program examined the range of strategies and initiatives that governments have used to leverage affordable housing supply in a constrained funding and increasingly market-driven context. • Through three interconnected research projects, the Inquiry examined holistic state-wide strategies for increasing affordable housing supply; the ways in which affordable housing can be integrated with wider market-driven housing supply through inclusionary planning; and how different financial levers can be tailored to deliver specific affordable housing projects across different market contexts. • The Inquiry program focused particularly on how overarching government strategies, planning or policy levers, and tailored funding approaches, can support affordable outcomes across the continuum of housing needs. This introductory chapter sets out the conceptual framework, policy context and data collection methods for the Inquiry research program.
