Migration and the life course: is there a retirement transition?

Older International Migrants: who migrates to England and Wales in later life?

“…Similarly, a married couple are more likely to have offspring who may depend on them (and perhaps be adversely affected by their migration) and there are twice as many adult parents who may be dependent upon familial support. The finding that retirement migration rates are lower among married persons is well supported in migration studies literature (Warnes and Rees (1986); 19 Speare and Goldsheider (1987) 20 and Bures (1997) 21 ). To be outside a form of union removes the 'anchor' and increases the potential for mobility in later life.…”

Rural gentrification and linked migration in the United States

“…Thus, there appears to be some connection between the demographic restructuring precipitated by the aging baby boomers and processes of gentrification playing out in rural America, and prior work has consistently noted the role of older in-migrants as agents of rural gentrification (Costello, 2007;Phillips, 2005;Spencer, 1995). As larger numbers of boomers enter 'third age' (Bures, 1997), the potential for boomers to act as agents of gentrification will only increase, albeit with an older age structure distinguishing rural gentrification from its urban manifestations. Second, the Latino population in gentrifying counties more than doubled in the 1990s, suggesting possible linkages exist between the arrival of gentrifying baby boomers and parallel flows of Latinos.…”

Exergames for Older Adults with Subthreshold Depression: Does Higher Playfulness Lead to Better Improvement in Depression?

“…However, extensive studies indicated that it is worthwhile to include the pre-older adults who were aged between 55 and 64 years in geriatric studies because they could provide an insight into the needs of future older adults. 60,61 Consequently, age criteria for participants in the study included both older adult participants (aged 65 and older) and pre-older adult participants (aged 55 to 64). At the same time, the PHQ-9 49 was used as a screening tool for admission into the study.…”
