Belonging and Discrimination in Times of Social Disruption: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study of Long-Settled Older Russian-Speaking Migrants
At its core, migrants’ integration involves developing a sense of belonging to their society of residence, which may be particularly challenging for older migrants. Even if belonging has been established, it is an ongoing and dynamic process that responds to sociopolitical events. This study examines the sense of belonging among long-settled older Russian-speaking migrants in Finland. It examined the period between 2019 and 2022, which included t…
Social network elements in loneliness interventions for older migrants: Insights from intervention documents and trainers
Loneliness among older migrants remains a pressing issue, yet the integration of social networks into interventions is poorly understood. This study examines which social network elements contribute to reducing loneliness, and how these are incorporated in Dutch interventions. Using content analysis of intervention materials and trainer interviews, we find a focus on network expansion and support, relationship strength and quality, and expectatio…
Community multiculturalism and self-reported immigrant crime: Testing three theoretical mechanisms
There are considerable contextual differences, both between countries and municipalities, in the degree to which first- and second-generation immigrants are involved in crime. This study aims to understand such variation better, focusing on the local level. It examines whether municipal variation in self-reported crimes among Turkish- and Moroccan-Dutch men residing in 30 representative Dutch cities ( n = 902), including the four largest cities, …
The overlooked role of place attachment in loneliness: An investigation among old people
The relationship people have with the place they live has an impact on loneliness. Feelings of connection, rootedness and meaning are seen as fundamental to the association between place attachment and loneliness. This article investigates whether a stronger attachment to place is associated with less loneliness, in addition to known predictors in the field of social integration and health. Place attachment has two dimensions, namely the personal…
Unveiling the missing pieces: Addressing research gaps in tackling loneliness among older migrants
Older migrants have long been an overlooked population (Fokkema & Ciobanu, 2021). While gerontological research has a rather colour-blind history, migration research has predominantly focused on younger migrant populations (e.g., recent newcomers and second-generation). Especially in longstanding immigration countries, older migrants today represent a substantial segment of the ageing population (OECD/European Union, 2023), and their numbers are …
Age and Gender Identity in the Relationship Between Minority Stress and Loneliness: A Global Sample of Sexual and Gender Minority Adults
Loneliness is prevalent among sexual minority adults and is associated with minority stress. Yet there is limited understanding of how loneliness and minority stress vary across key demographic variables. This cross-sectional study explored age and gender differences in a minority stress model linking sexual orientation marginalization to social and emotional loneliness via proximal stress (internalized homonegativity, concealment, and stigma pre…
We love it here and there: Turkish Alevi older migrants' belonging to places
This paper investigates belonging among Turkish Alevi older migrants during their stays in the origin country. The few studies that cover belonging among older migrants primarily examined belonging within the confines of host countries. As substantial amounts of time are spent in origin countries, migrants’ life worlds are thus only partially studied. Furthermore, the importance of context for belonging is thereby insufficiently acknowledged. Ant…
Community multiculturalism and immigrant crime
There is considerable international and local-level variation in immigrant crime. In this article, we propose a theoretical model to better understand that contextual variation. Furthermore, we present the results of our first attempts to empirically assess the validity of the framework, focussing on local-level variation in crime among residents of Turkish or Moroccan origin in the Netherlands. The proposed model connects Berry's acculturation t…
Neighbourhood Ethnic Density, Local Language Skills, and Loneliness among Older Migrants—A Population-Based Study on Russian Speakers in Finland
So far, little attention has been paid to contextual factors shaping loneliness and their interaction with individual characteristics. Moreover, the few existing studies have not included older migrants, identified as a group who are vulnerable to loneliness. This study examined the association between neighbourhood ethnic density (the proportion of own-group residents and the proportion of other ethnic residents in an area) and loneliness among …
Life events, social conditions and residential mobility among older adults
This study explores whether and how social conditions—ties to kin and friends as well as loneliness—are related to older adults' residential mobility, in general, and in combination with a late‐life event, specifically. Drawing on panel data from the US Health and Retirement Study ( N = 9107), logistic regression models examine whether older adult moves are triggered by life events (retirement, widowhood and health deterioration) and loneliness, …
Gender Differences in Social Embeddedness Determinants of Loneliness Among Moroccan and Turkish Older Migrants
Family ties are more protective against loneliness for older men than for older women, possibly indicating that migrant women's expectations regarding family go above and beyond having a spouse, receiving intergenerational care, or having frequent contact with children. In addition, migrant older men's higher expectations regarding a public social life could make their social life in the Netherlands less fulfilling, resulting in greater lonelines…
Drivers of loneliness among older refugees
Although older refugees can be seen as particularly vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness, they are often overlooked by ageing and migration scholars. This article addresses this research gap by identifying and examining potential drivers of loneliness among older refugees. The study analysed data from the first two waves of the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees, focusing on 958 individuals aged 45 and older who arrived in Germany between …
Subjective well‐being of older migrants in the Netherlands: A conceptual and methodological discussion
Social policy is most effective when evidence‐based. In this research, we scrutinise 11 surveys to produce evidence on the subjective well‐being (SWB) of older migrants in the Netherlands. The descriptive analysis and literature review revealed that the study of the diversity among older migrants is hindered by several factors, including the inclusion of a limited number of distinct migrant groups, their almost exclusive comparison to non‐migrant…
The micro-macro interplay of economic factors in late-life loneliness: Evidence from Europe and China
Individual socioeconomic status has a significant impact on whether older adults can initiate and maintain social relationships and participate in society, hence it affects loneliness. At the macro level, income inequality is expected to increase the risk of loneliness by eroding social cohesion and trust, while welfare generosity might protect people from loneliness. The aim of the study is to explore whether income inequality and welfare genero…
Minority Stress and Loneliness in a Global Sample of Sexual Minority Adults: The Roles of Social Anxiety, Social Inhibition, and Community Involvement
Research suggests that loneliness among sexual minority adults is associated with marginalization, but it is unclear which processes may underlie this relationship. This cross-sectional study examined five possibilities: stigma preoccupation, internalized homonegativity, sexual orientation concealment, social anxiety, and social inhibition. The study also examined the possible protective role of LGBTQ community involvement. Respondents were 7856 …
Loneliness Among Chinese Older Adults: The Role of Grandparenthood and Grandparental Childcare by Gender
This study examines the influence of grandparenthood and grandparental childcare on loneliness among Chinese older adults. Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of 9240 individuals from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we applied logistic regression to examine the relationship between various grandparental statuses and loneliness with a focus on gender. The grandparental role is a protective f…
Contextual correlates of loneliness in adolescents
Loneliness is a common problem that can affect an individual’s physical and mental wellbeing. While loneliness has been extensively researched among older people, relatively few studies have investigated loneliness in the adolescent population. In this study, we aim to explore the association between loneliness and contextual factors in a large sample of young people. Data stem from the “National Youth Health Monitor” of the Dutch region of South…
It’s like a double-edged sword’: Understanding Confucianism’s role in activity participation among first-generation older Chinese migrants in the Netherlands and Belgium
New frontiers in international retirement migration
Introducing the special issue, this paper provides a state-of-the-art on established and new trends in the study of international retirement migration (IRM) and summarises the five papers that follow. Early studies on IRM were mainly within Europe and drew on the conceptual framework of lifestyle migration, with some reference to the transnational and mobilities paradigms. New frontiers in IRM are presented under three heads. Firstly, new geograp…
International retirement and later-life migrants in the Marche region, Italy: Materialities of landscape, ‘home’, lifestyle and consumption
Within the general framework of ‘lifestyle migration’, the paper explores three materialities associated with the arrival and settlement of British, German and Dutch later-life migrants in the Italian region of Marche, a relatively new ‘frontier’ region for international retirement migration. The first is about the aesthetics of landscape and the scenic and emotional qualities of the physical and social environment. The second concerns ‘home’, wh…
Starting a new life in the South? Swiss, Dutch and Flemish ageing in Morocco: A lifecourse perspective
This article focuses on European migrants living in Morocco and now near retirement or retired. Using a lifecourse approach we are interested in whether their timing of migration to Morocco made a difference in terms of their motivations to settle there and subsequently with the social relationships at the destination. To this end, we conducted 36 biographical interviews with Swiss, Dutch and Belgian Flemish migrants aged 50 and older. Findings s…
Comparing generations of migrants’ transnational behaviour: The role of the transnational convoy and integration
This paper compares generations (G1, G1.5, G2, G3) of male Turkish migrants to Europe in their transnational behaviours: contact frequency, visits, remittances, property ownership and voting. We aim to explain differences by generational differences in transnational convoy size and integration into residence countries. Data from 798 members of migrant families were obtained from 2000 Families . Generations differ in visiting, remitting, property …
Transnational ties: Resource or stressor on Peruvian migrants' well‐being
This paper explores the role of types and the intensity of transnational ties for migrants' well‐being from a global perspective. Based on a literature review, two competing hypotheses are formulated—transnational resources versus transnational stress—according to which transnational ties have either a positive or a negative effect on migrants' well‐being. Drawing on data from a large‐scale survey of Peruvian migrants worldwide, this paper examin…
The Marche: Italy's new frontier for international retirement migration
Within the linked fields of population, migration, and ageing, international retirement migration (IRM) has emerged as a strong focus for empirical research. Thus far, the classic studies have been on European North–South IRM, with a specific concentration on iconic regions such as the Costa del Sol, southern France, and Tuscany. But the geography of IRM is constantly changing, as prior destination regions become “saturated” and perhaps too expen…
The impact of migration on intergenerational solidarity types
This paper aims to expand knowledge on the effects of an international migration on parent-adult child relationships. We develop a typology, include non-migrants in the country of origin for comparison, and consider transnational families. Analyses are based on the Turkish 2000 Families Study, using information of adult non-co-resident children about their relationships with their parents. The research questions are: Do intergenerational solidari…
Generations and Gender Survey (GGS): Towards a better understanding of relationships and processes in the life course

Ageing as a migrant: Vulnerabilities, Agency and Policy Implications
This paper starts with a short review of the growing literature on the topic of older migrants, particularly in relation to this population’s diversity, social vulnerability, loneliness, (transnational) care and support networks. It then introduces the collection of papers of this special issue by proposing an approach to studying older migrants as social actors who develop strategies to surpass vulnerabilities. Older migrants mobilise their reso…
The effects of integration and transnational ties on international return migration intentions
While return migration is receiving increasing attention, there is still insufficient insight into the factors which determine migrantsâ intentions and decisions to return. It is often assumed that integration in receiving countries and the concomitant
Pre‐ and Post‐Migration Determinants of Socio‐Cultural Integration of African Immigrants in Italy and Spain
Using a unique dataset ( N =2,014), we examine the pre‐ and post‐migration determinants of socio‐cultural integration among first‐generation immigrant groups in southern Europe: Moroccan and Senegalese migrants in Spain, and Egyptian and Ghanaian migrants in Italy. The results of the pooled and immigrant‐group specific regression analyses partly highlight the dominance of pre‐migration factors. Immigrants who were well‐educated and well‐informed …
Relationships between parents and their adult children: A West European typology of late-life families
Following Reher's (1998) seminal paper on family ties in western Europe, the perspective that family solidarity patterns are divided between an individualistic north and a famialistic south has dominated the literature. We challenge this view and address the variability in intergenerational family solidarity within and across countries. Using multiple dimensions of intergenerational solidarity drawn from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retiremen…
Return Migration as Failure or Success: The Determinants of Return Migration Intentions Among Moroccan Migrants in Europe
The Migration and Well-Being of the Zero Generation: Transgenerational Care, Grandparenting, and Loneliness amongst Albanian Older People
This paper focuses on the so-called ‘zero generation’: the parents of first-generation migrants who are initially left behind in the migrant country of origin and who may subsequently follow their children in migration or engage in transnational back-and-forth mobility. We challenge the prevailing optic on the left-behind older generation that sees them as dependent and in need of care, and stress instead their active participation both in migrat…

The research questions are: Do intergenerational solidari…
Is Living Alone “Aging Alone”? Solitary Living, Network Types, and Well-Being
Our study shows the importance of drawing distinctions within the group of older adults living alone. Most (two thirds) are not vulnerable and at risk, but fare just as well or even better than peers who coreside with others. Country-level factors shape the opportunities to build satisfactory networks, but subjective well-being depends more strongly on individual resources, including social networks, than country-level factors
Intra-Household Conflicts in Migration Decisionmaking: Return and Pendulum Migration in Morocco
By analyzing the migration behavior and transnational residential strategies of first-generation, aging migrants from a particular Moroccan sending region, this study contributes to a conceptual critique of migration theories that identify the household as the most relevant decisionmaking unit. It highlights the role of intra-household power inequalities and conflicts in migration decisionmaking as well as the effects of migration decisions for i…

Trends in living arrangements in Europe: Convergence or divergence
This article uses data from the Labour Force Surveys to examine trends in the living arrangements of European men and women aged 20 to 75 between 1987 and 2002. Some trends, like the decline in mean household size and the increase in living as a lone m
The dimensions and degree of second-generation incorporation in US and European cities: A comparative study of inclusion and exclusion
This research compares cities between and within the United States and Europe with respect to their dimensionality and degree of immigrant incorporation. Based on theoretical perspectives about immigrant incorporation, structural differentiation and national incorporation regimes, we hypothesize that more inclusionary (MI) cities will show more dimensions of incorporation and more favorable incorporation outcomes than less inclusionary (LI) place…
The Netherlands: Childbearing within the context of a 'Poldermodel' society
The Netherlands has seen a considerable decline of the period total fertility rate and delayed childbearing, just like all other European countries. The drop in fertility, however, has not been as sharp as in many other regions of Europe. The period to
Generations and Gender Programme Wave 1 data collection: An overview and assessment of sampling and fieldwork methods, weighting procedures, and cross-sectional representativeness
The Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) was developed to stimulate the study of a broad range of topics of relevance to population scientists. So far, at least one wave of the GGS has been conducted in 19 countries. If scholars want to use the GGS for comp
Being lonely later in life: A qualitative study among Albanians and Moroccans in Italy
This study focuses on the social wellbeing of older migrants in Italy, an important yet neglected topic in the Italian political and scholarly debate. Knowledge about the lived experience of loneliness and its perceived causes was gathered by means of 34 in-depth interviews with Albanian and Moroccan migrants aged 50 and above living in the Marche region. Our findings show that the participants are surrounded by family and are largely satisfied w…
The role of religion in protecting older Romanian migrants from loneliness
This article explores qualitatively how and to what extent religion protects older Romanian migrants from loneliness. The analysis is based on fieldwork research in two Swiss cantons and in neighbouring France among 30 Romanian migrants aged 57+. The sample is heterogeneous, made up of persons who fled the communist regime in their youth and others who migrated later in life for work or to be with their families. The fieldwork research points tow…
The effect of remittances on emigration intentions in Egypt, Morocco, and Turkey
Are remittances determined by altruism or enlightened self-interest, and do they trigger additional migration? In this paper these two questions are examined empirically in relation to data from Egypt, Turkey, and Morocco for households with family members living abroad. It is shown, firstly, that one cannot argue exclusively either for altruism or self-interest as motives, since for each country the data tell a different story and both motives c…

Contacts between Divorced and Non-Divorced Parents and Their Adult Children in the Netherlands: An Investment Perspective
This article addresses descriptive and explanatory research questions on the contact frequency between divorced parents and their adult children. The survey Divorce in the Netherlands 1998 has data on the contact frequency between 803 divorced respondents and 214 non-divorced parents and 2,122 non-resident children older than 18 years. The data show that divorced fathers have less contact with their adult children than fathers who did not divorce…

The Importance of Peers: Assimilation Patterns among Second-generation Turkish Immigrants in Western Europe
The dominant approaches to immigrant assimilation—segmented and ‘new’ assimilation theories—analyse differences in assimilation across immigrant groups. However, neither adequately addresses variation within groups because nearly all the variables usually used to explain variation are best at addressing between-group differences. The exception is family-level variables, specifically parents' educational attainment, income and occupational status.…
Norms of Filial Obligation in the Netherlands

Les données proviennent de la première vague de la Netherlands Kinship Panel Study, contribution néerlandaise au Generations and Gender Programme, et portent sur l’échantillon qui combine popu…
The Link Between the Transnational Behaviour and Integration of the Second Generation in European and American Cities: Does the context of reception matter
This article investigates the transnational behaviour of the children of immigrants – the second generation – in 11 European and two U.S. cities. We find evidence that transnational practices such as visits to the home country, remittances and use of ethnic media persist only among a minority of the second generation. At a personal level, these second-generation transmigrants are less socio-culturally integrated but more economically integrated i…
Big Cities, Big Problems: Reason for the Elderly to Move
In many European countries, data on geographical patterns of internal elderly migration show that the elderly (55+) are more likely to leave than to move to the big cities. Besides emphasising the attractive features of the destination areas (pull factors), it is often assumed that this negative balance of migration of elderly people is caused by problems which mainly the big cities have to contend with and which would have a negative effect on l…

Moving Plans of the Elderly: A Test of the Stress-Threshold Model
The aim of this paper is to develop and test a theoretical model for the explanation of moving plans among elderly persons. This model of moving behaviour of the elderly is more or less similar to the 'residential satisfaction model of relocation', developed by Speare, and consists of three sets of variables: (1) background characteristics (personal characteristics, discrepancies with regard to several housing and neighbourhood characteristics, a…

Contacts between elderly parents and their children in four European countries: Current patterns and future prospects
Employment and divorce among Dutch women born between 1903 and 1937
Women's increased economic independence is often regarded as a major contributor to the rise in the divorce rate since the 1960s. The rise in female labor-force participation and educational attainment has eroded the benefits of the traditional gender division within marriage and reduced the negative financial consequences of divorce. Women's employment may also undermine traditional marital role expectations and increase stress and marital confl…

Social and Emotional Loneliness Among Divorced and Married Men and Women: Comparing the Deficit and Cognitive Perspectives
Data from the 1998 survey “Divorce in the Netherlands” (N = 2,223) are used to analyze differences in loneliness among divorced and married men and women. The results indicate that it makes sense to distinguish social from emotional loneliness. This is consistent with the deficit perspective, which posits that the absence of specific types of relationships is associated with specific forms of loneliness. Whereas social loneliness is largely attri…

Solidarity between Parents and their Adult Children in Europe
At present, our knowledge of the current state of solidarity between parents and their adult children in Europe is limited. Insight into contemporary intergenerational solidarity is not only important for the well-being of individuals but is also of great interest to policy makers. Patterns of intergenerational solidarity are not only affected by social policies and services but also reveal a number of important social policy issues and dilemmas.…

Minority stress and mental health among Dutch LGBs: Examination of differences between sex and sexual orientation.
Minority stress is often cited as an explanation for greater mental health problems among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals than heterosexual individuals. However, studies focusing on sex or sexual orientation differences in level of minority stress and its impact on mental health are scarce, even more so outside the United States. Performing secondary analyses on the data of a Dutch population study on sexual health, the present study…

Cross-National Differences in Older Adult Loneliness
Loneliness concerns the subjective evaluation that the number of relationships is smaller than the individual considers desirable or that the intimacy that the individual wishes for has not been realized. The aim of this study was to assess variations in levels of late-life loneliness and its determinants across Europe. Data came from the SHARE surveys, Wave 2 (Borsch-Supan et al., 2008), encompassing adults aged 50 years and over in Austria, Bel…
