Transnational Ageing among Older Migrants and Natives: A Strategy to Overcome Vulnerability

Thesis yet to be defined. The project will develop a better understanding of transnational practices to overcome vulnerability in old age by doing a comparison between older international migrants, internal migrants and natives. The aims are to provide a comprehensive overview of the processes through which some overcome vulnerabilities and others do not by studying the forms of transnationalism developed to face age-related hardships. This will be done through in-depth interviews and a mapping out of institutions that have a transnational component.
