| Annotation | Since October 1989, some 100,000 adults aged 55 and over have immigrated to Israel as part of the recent mass immigration from the former Soviet Union. This report discusses the findings of a national survey of older immigrants, which explored the special needs and problems experienced during the absorption process. Several areas were examined, including physical health and daily functioning, economic status, and housing. This article focuses on the findings concerning housing, but also presents selected findings on other factors - e.g. language problems and a higher level of disability - that help explain difficulties encountered by these immigrants in the area of housing. |
