Abstract
Title page note:
Multigenerational housing options for Indian community and people adhering to similar traditional lifestyle in New Zealand: A focus on Indian households.
Aotearoa’s growing South Asian Indian population faces challenges finding culturally appropriate housing for their people and their elderly. Despite a rich tradition of multigenerational living, existing aged care infrastructure often fails to accommodate these communities’ cultural needs. This paper examines the feasibility and benefits of multigenerational housing (MGH) solutions tailored to the specific requirements of Indian immigrants in New Zealand. The study highlights the growing demand for culturally sensitive aged care and housing options that could benefit Indian families. Multigenerational living is reciprocal and cultural, as the younger generation is expected to care for their elderly. The research proposes strategies to support busy Indian immigrants in catering to and caring for their older family members and cultural values. These include developing a housing typology suitable for three to four generations, understanding cultural dynamics, and creating social environments conducive to multigenerational living.
