“…Department of Homeland Security, 2006). According to Census 2000, 1 in 8 of the 3.3 million foreign‐born adults, 65 and older, in the United States arrived in the 1990s (Treas & Batalova, in press). Not counting most Canadian and some Mexican travelers, 2.3 million persons 65 and older made temporary visits to the United States as nonimmigrants in 2005 (U.S.…”

“…Similarly, there is growing academic interest in exploring the impact of migration on adults who came as children, teenagers, adults or even second and third (or even subsequent) generations (Buriel 1993;Berry 2001;Nakash et al 2012;Zubida et al 2013;Shoshani et al 2014). Also, an increasing number of articles examine ageing immigrants who, whether by desire or by chance, find themselves in the receiving state long after they intended to leave (Gelfand 1989;Mui 1996;Jones-Correa 1998;Treas and Batalova 2009;Yahirun 2012). New research considers migrants who returned to their country of origin after a protracted sojourn abroad and focuses on their reintegration.…”

It's like clockwork', the saying goes, meaning that things are orderly, linear, dependable, and based on a universally shared, knowable concept of time. Standardisation facilitates communication, facilitates order and spurs development (Anderson 1991; Crosby 1997). Shared temporal references are a fundamental concept of social life (Sorokin 1943; Zerubavel 1982). Time is an orientation opportunity, allowing individuals to carve a place in that shared social space (Berger and Luckmann 1967). Sorokin (1943: 173) eloquently explains: (t)he possession of means and ways to 'time' the behavior of the members of any group in such a way that each member apprehends 'the appointed time' in the same way as do other members has been possibly the most urgent need of social life at any time and at any place. Without this, social life itself is impossible.

“…So far, research on older migrants has mainly been concerned with their incorporation in and well‐being compared to the native born population (Treas and Batalova ). However, with older migrants becoming more numerous, questions about their transnational involvement, including remittances, are also gaining relevance (Horn and Schweppe ).…”

This article draws on the conceptual framework of capacity and desire to analyze the remitting behavior of older Peruvian migrants in Spain. Crosssectional survey data are explored using regression analysis to estimate how local and transnational factors relate to the sending of remittances. To reveal the complexities involved in this activity, the findings are discussed in the light of qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews with older Peruvian migrants in the metropolitan area of Barcelona. Results show that economic integration and transnational ties and practices are strong predictors for the sending of remittances, with local language skills being of intermediate relevance.
