This comprehensive book explores the intricate interplay between two major trends shaping economic and social life: population aging and migration. Both phenomena have gained significant prominence throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, presenting welfare states with unique challenges. The book offers a novel interdisciplinary approach to examining the complexities posed by the globalization of the life course, particularly in relation to old age and family policies. Through a series of compelling case studies, it delves into diverse migration scenarios, encompassing individuals who migrate in later life, those who age in place after earlier migrations, and older people who employ migrant caregivers. By highlighting the intersections of local and global economic inequalities, the book sheds light on how these factors shape interactions between aging, migration, and family support. It underscores that migration can both pose risks for older individuals and provide solutions to aging-related social, economic, and health challenges. The book also examines the tensions between national and global contexts in the experiences of migration across the life course, providing valuable insights for scholars, students, practitioners, and policy makers in the fields of aging, migration, life course, and population health. This thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the evolving dynamics of our society.
