معرفی
Kristian Fuzi serves as a Research Fellow and Research Theme Lead for Risk and Financial Wellbeing in Later Life at the Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management (CHASM), within the Department of Social Policy, Sociology and Criminology at the University of Birmingham's School of Social Policy. His work investigates financial insecurity and inequality in later life through the lens of precarious work, housing instability, and gender dynamics.
Education:
- MA in Sociology, University of Manchester (2019)
- BA in Sociology, Newcastle University (2016)
Research Interests: Fuzi employs relational sociological theory and mixed-method approaches (including financial diaries and qualitative interviews) to analyze how interconnected precarities—work, housing, relationships—shape financial decision-making and pension planning. His research demonstrates how immediate economic vulnerabilities propagate into long-term retirement insecurity, with particular attention to gendered impacts and policy implications for financial resilience.
Publication Trends: His 2023 works consistently examine the pension consequences of precarious labor markets, revealing systemic connections between insecure employment conditions and diminished later-life financial security. These studies bridge academic theory and policy development, emphasizing the need for structural interventions in pension systems to address work-life insecurities.
Professional Context: Prior to his current role, Fuzi worked as a Research Associate at Aston University's Centre for Personal Financial Wellbeing and as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Manchester. At CHASM, he leads thematic research on financial risk in aging populations while contributing to interdisciplinary collaborations on household asset management and savings policy.
