AnnotationThere are numerous ways of better integrating older people into their communities, many of which are contingent on whether they will remain in their pre-retirement homes or make a move. Using a life course perspective, this paper establishes that residential history, social and family arrangements, socio-economic status, and health trajectories measured at mid-life can be associated with moves in later life, either directly or indirectly through their effect on the mid-life residential trajectory. These relationships are examined with multivariate Cox proportional hazards and Poisson regression models, using data from the Ontario Longitudinal Study of Aging (OLSA). These findings suggest directions for future research, to aid the development of public policy for the large baby-boom cohorts that are just entering mid-life. (RH).
