The last few decades have seen an increase in the migration of
ageing people from richer Northern and Western countries to poorer
Southern and Eastern countries. This book seeks to understand the
motivation behind retirement migration and how precarity in later
life contributes to this trend. Drawing on accounts of retirees
from different nations, the book examines how welfare policies in
their home country and their country of migration interact to shape
their experiences of migration. It shows how ageism impacts social
precarity across different social classes, and across economic,
social and health dimensions. It also evaluates how local and
global systems of inequalities influence retirement migrants’
experience, providing both opportunities and constraints that
differ across countries.
