O envelhecimento demográfico constitui um desafio estrutural das sociedades contemporâneas, com impactos significativos nas políticas públicas, nos sistemas de cuidado e nas respostas habitacionais. Este artigo analisa criticamente a relação entre a habitação, o envelhecimento e a justiça social, com particular enfoque no paradigma do ageing in place e nos modelos alternativos de cuidado. Com base numa revisão crítica narrativa da literatura, mobiliza-se uma abordagem teórica integrada que articula a sociologia do envelhecimento, a abordagem das capacidades e o enquadramento dos direitos humanos. A análise evidencia que o ageing in place, embora amplamente promovido como solução preferencial, depende de condições estruturais desigualmente distribuídas, como recursos económicos, qualidade habitacional, redes de apoio e acesso a serviços. Em contextos de vulnerabilidade, a permanência no domicílio pode traduzir-se em isolamento, insegurança e restrição de capacidades. Os modelos alternativos de habitação e de cuidado revelam potencial para articular autonomia e suporte, mas enfrentam limitações de acesso, escala e equidade. Conclui-se que uma habitação justa na velhice exige respostas plurais, contextualizadas e orientadas para a expansão das capacidades efetivas das pessoas idosas, garantindo condições reais para uma vida digna, autónoma e socialmente integrada.
Demographic ageing constitutes a structural challenge for contemporary societies, with significant impacts on public policies, care systems, and housing responses. "is article critically analyses the relationship between housing, ageing, and social justice, with particular emphasis on the ageing in place paradigm and alternative care models. Based on a critical narrative literature review, it adopts an integrated theoretical approach that brings together the sociology of ageing, the capability approach, and a human rights framework. "e analysis shows that ageing in place, although widely promoted as the preferred solution, depends on structurally uneven conditions such as economic resources, housing quality, support networks, and access to services. In contexts of vulnerability, remaining at home may translate into isolation, insecurity, and a restriction of capabilities. Alternative housing and care models demonstrate potential to combine autonomy and support, but they face limitations in terms of access, scale, and equity. It is concluded that just housing in old age requires plural, context-sensitive responses oriented toward expanding the effective capabilities of older persons, ensuring real conditions for a dignified, autonomous, and socially integrated life.
