| Annotation | Existing research on migration in later life has so far given little attention to the inflows of older people from developing countries to Europe. This article aims to illustrate the existence of migration in old age, and the way that it is influenced by structural family and personal factors. It also shows how - in contrast to wealthier older people who migrate within Europe in search of a pleasant location for retirement - older people from developing countries, most of whom are female, migrate as a means of securing their own future as well as that of their families. They do this both through contribution to unpaid work within the family household, or through paid work mainly in the care market. (RH). |
