Motivated by the steady increase in the population of older
migrants worldwide, this book acknowledges the diversity within
this population group and provides an interdisciplinary and
multi-level approach for studying older migrants' strategies to
overcome vulnerability. The book brings together original research
on the topics of diversity among older migrants, social
vulnerability, loneliness, (transnational) care and support
networks. Based on a review of the growing literature on the topic
of older migrants and anchored in the empirical findings discussed
in the chapters, the book puts forward a general approach to study
older migrants as social actors who develop strategies to surpass
vulnerabilities. As documented by empirical research, older
migrants mobilise their resources and are able to deal with
structural opportunities and restrictions operating at meso and
macro levels. These strategies are placed at the intersection
between family obligations and resources, social networks, and
migration and care regimes. The interdisciplinary and multi-level
research in this book acknowledges the heterogeneity within the
population of older migrants and puts forward research results that
have implications for policies targeting the growing population of
older migrants. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
