| Annotation | Despite the growing importance of long-distance travel and resettlement in other countries, the relationship between migration and ageing is a relatively neglected topic in gerontology. Using the examples of migrants in minority ethnic communities, this paper proposes a typology with which to relate the main reasons for migration earlier in the life course to the range of possibilities for migration which may face older people in later life. Conclusions about care needs and identity are discussed with reference to older migrants in ethnic minorities in Britain. It is argued that the minority migrants' example has important lessons for, and applications to, understanding general patterns of international migration in later life. (AKM). |
