IRM signifies the growing interconnectedness of aging populations in relatively affluent countries, raising critical questions about its interrelations with global inequalities. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of these global interconnections and their intricate interplay with global inequalities, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex and multifaceted dimensions of this development. It sheds light on the (ambiguous) everyday lives of retirement migrants in the countries of destination, highlighting the severe impacts that these processes have on the destination countries, marked by processes of recolonization and the reproduction, enhancement, and reconfiguration of social inequalities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, this book delves into the growing retirement industry that capitalizes on retirement migration, taking advantage of global differences and structural disadvantages in countries of the Global South. It explores the ethical and social implications of this phenomenon, raising important questions about the distribution of resources, power, and social welfare in a globalized world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy examining the evidence of IRM and its interconnections with global inequalities, this book contributes to our understanding of the evolving landscape of retirement and aging. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise as retirement migrants navigate new environments, and it sheds light on the broader societal implications of this development. As we navigate the complexities of an increasingly interconnected world, it is essential to engage with these issues and work towards creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 448g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811669989\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103250641146,"sku":"9789811669989","price":108.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648207930655_book.jpg?v=1648323539","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/retirement-migration-to-the-global-south-global-inequalities-and-entanglements-9789811669989","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
