| Annotation | The ageing of migrants, emigrants and immigrants poses a problem today, because it was taken for granted that people who settled and worked in a host country would leave - at least when they retired - and return to their home countries. However, many have settled, raised families, lost contact with families and friends in their country of origin, and established social contacts in the host country. Three case studies demonstrate the complexities. First, North African (mainly Algerian) immigrants arrived in France as economic migrants in the 1960s, and in the context of the political situation, traces can be seen by how older immigrants are dealt with. Portuguese immigrants in Luxembourg have affected that country's demography: they form the highest number of voters, and there is still a problem of economic and social integration. In Switzerland, foreign populations have tended to settle as permanent residents: in the case of Italian and Spanish immigrants, inequalities and differences persist. (RH). |
