| Annotation | This paper reviews some of the principal differences and similarities in the migration and spatial redistribution behaviour of the older populations of the United States (US) and of Germany. The first part of the paper reviews actual and prospective redistribution of the older population, with regard to inter-regional shifts of population as well as to changes in concentration among an urban-rural continuum. The second part presents the results of two ex post facto surveys (US and Germany) of recent older movers in order to compare the motivations expressed for the move and the present degree of satisfaction with it. The concluding section considers the implications of redistribution at both geographic levels and of mover satisfaction in light of political developments as they are presently unfolding in Europe.
