This master's thesis explores housing issues in Slovenia through the lens of intergenerational solutions, focusing on young and elderly populations as two vulnerable groups. The theoretical part analyzes key sociological concepts such as home, housing, youth, aging, and intergenerational cooperation. The empirical part, based on a representative sample, examines the population’s readiness for intergenerational cohabitation. Findings show that such cohabitation is a socially acceptable and realistic option for alleviating housing distress, especially in areas with lower population density. However, its implementation is hindered by inadequate legislation and lack of institutional support. The research provides concrete data that can inform future housing policies and highlights the need for cultural change, legal reform, and systemic support to successfully implement intergenerational housing models.
