This comprehensive Handbook explores the fundamental concepts
surrounding the ageing-migration nexus. It is indispensable
reading, presenting interdisciplinary research to investigate the
unique experiences of older migrants, migrant eldercare workers and
older people left behind. Illustrating the various contemporary
topics of study used to explore the connections between migration
and ageing, the Handbook discusses how the research interest
surrounding this interrelation has developed. Chapters explore two
central factors that have influenced the ageing-migration nexus,
namely population ageing and the globalization of international
migration. It aptly draws attention to conclusions drawn from
already completed research ventures, before considering what
research still needs to be conducted. This innovative Handbook will
be an ideal resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to
familiarize themselves with the field. It will also be beneficial
for more experienced researchers studying topics such as migration,
welfare states and social gerontology, as well as academics looking
to become more informed on the connections between migration and
ageing.
This original collection explores how critical gerontology can make
sense of old age inequalities to inform and improve social work
research, policy and practice and empower older people. With
examples of practice-facing research, this book engages with key
debates on age-related human rights and social justice issues. The
critical and conceptual focus will expand the horizons of those who
work with older people, addressing the current challenges, issues
and opportunities that they face.

Population ageing and the globalisation of international migration
are challenging the research agendas of social scientists around
the world, and posing numerous challenges for policy makers and
practitioners whose goal is to formulate and design high-quality
and user-friendly policies and services. Both of these phenomena
have brought, for example, attention to the fact that more and more
people around the world are ageing in countries other than those
where they were born. The fact that elderly care sectors around the
world need to recruit staff if they are to handle the growing
number of older people that will need their services is also
something that has been discussed when population ageing and the
globalisation of international migration have been debated. The
elderly care sector's reliance on people with migrant backgrounds
has namely increased as a result of these phenomena. This
collection is therefore situated at the intersection of ageing and
migration studies and takes into account the various issues with
which this intersection is concerned. The chapters in this volume
are written by established researchers in the field of ageing and
migration around the world. The collection explores these issues in
three sections: Elderly care regimes and migration regimes:
national perspectives Ageing in contexts of migration: a
multifaceted phenomenon Elderly care and migration. The expert
contributions in this volume address the array of issues associated
with the study of ageing, old age and elderly care in contexts of
migration.

With neo-liberal resource rationing, and the onus of cost shifting
from the state to individuals, families, and communities, migration
issues can add a further layer of complexity to the question of
caring for the elderly. By presenting examples from a variety of
contexts and countries, this book will stimulate readers into
considering new approaches to their own local situation in an
attempt to find sustainable social work responses, and in helping
to build intergenerational solidarity and social capital.
Contributions to the book focus on patterns of migration: older
migrants, migrating families and migrant carers. Facilitating and
supporting social solidarity both locally and internationally
requires social workers to understand the different contexts for
elderly social work both within their own country, and
internationally. Central to this area of work is the promotion of
values that respect differences and uphold the principles of human
rights and social justice. This book highlights the need to
consider migration as a driver for social change, offering the
opportunity for new forms of social solidarity that can adapt and
support people inter-generationally and sustainably in later life.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
European Journal of Social Work.

Winner of the Richard Kalish Innovative Publication Award 2021.
Part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, this book proposes a
new research agenda for scholarship that focuses on ethnicity, race
and old age. It argues that in a time of increased international
migration, population ageing and ethno-cultural diversity,
scholarly imagination must be expanded as current research
frameworks are becoming obsolete. By bringing attention to the way
that ethnicity and race have been addressed in research on ageing
and old age, with a focus on health inequalities, health and social
care, intergenerational relationships and caregiving, the book
proposes how research can be developed in an ethnicity astute and
diversity informed manner.
