“…Although the scholarship on temporary migrants is burgeoning, extant studies in this area have typically focused on young temporary workers (Bauböck 2011), such as international students, graduate workers, working holiday makers (Robertson 2014), skilled migrants (Mayes 2017; Khoo, Hugo, and McDonald 2008), domestic workers (Lee and Piper 2017), guest workers (Griffith and Gleeson 2017), and refugees and asylum-seekers (Griffiths 2014). Until the recent emergence of research on transnational grandparents (Plaza 2000; Treas and Mazumdar 2002; Zhou 2012; King et al 2014; Tiaynen-Quadir 2016; Zickgraf 2017; Chiu and Ho 2020; Ho and Chiu 2020; Nedelcu and Wyss 2020), the situation of older temporary migrants has received scant attention. While studies on young migrant workers commonly reveal how restrictive immigration policies and temporary migration programs implemented by migrant-receiving states have shaped temporary migrant workers’ precariousness, exploitation, and limited social, economic, and political rights (Basok 2004; Dauvergne and Marsden 2014; Robertson 2014; Samuk 2020), we need to question how the intersection of aging, migration, and temporariness may accentuate the vulnerability of older temporary migrants.…”
