Return Migration in Later Life: International Perspectives
Editat de John Percivalen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 iul 2013
Little research has been done on expatriates who return to their countries of origin in later life—an important issue in a time of aging populations and increasing mobility. Bringing together studies of older adults’ migration patterns in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, South Asia, and Australia, this collection offers the first comprehensive explanation of how and why they return to their homelands. In the process, it addresses such key factors as the strength of family ties; the quality and cost of health and welfare provisions; and psychological adjustment, belonging, and attachment to place.

Recenzii
“Elderly migrants returning to their countries of origin often do so with idealistic expectations. However, all of them find that the country they left is not the same as the one to which they returned. Some adjust well to the changes that have taken place in their absence, but others experience stressful readjustment processes. This book includes 12 chapters covering a diversity of these challenging adjustments. . . . Recommended.”
