Rural Gerontology. Towards Critical Perspectives on Rural Ageing; Translocal Ageing in the Global East. Bulgaria’s Abandoned Elderly
The village as a coat’; changes in the person-environment fit for older people in a rural area in The Netherlands
Residential dynamics and neighbourhood conditions of older migrants and native Dutch older adults in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The share of older migrants in Dutch cities is increasing. However, only limited knowledge has been gained about the urban conditions that older migrants live in and how these compare to those of their native Dutch counterparts. This paper contributes to filling this knowledge gap using detailed information on residential patterns, housing conditions and levels of neighbourhood deprivation in the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and links th…
The success–failure dichotomy revisited
Researchers are increasingly aware that nonlinear perspectives of the transition into adulthood and non-economic motives, such as family and friends, may help to improve our understanding of young adults' migration decisions. This paper combines these new insights with the traditional economic success–failure arguments in order to explain young adults' return migration to their rural home region. We present four orientations in return motives: th…
Migration intentions of rural youth in the Westhoek, Flanders, Belgium and the Veenkoloniën, The Netherlands
Vulnerability and Environmental Stress of Older Adults in Deprived Neighbourhoods in the Netherlands
Recent policy rests on the assumption that it is better for older people to live independently within the community for as long as possible. A related assumption is that the local community forms a supportive context for vulnerable older people; the environment can compensate the limitations resulting from growing old. However, Lawton's ‘environmental docility hypothesis’, in which the interaction between characteristics of the environment and a …
Reliability and Validity of the Older Americans Resources and Services (Oars) Social Resources Scale in Six European Countries
Differences across countries make it unlikely that researchers can develop a single social resources scale that would have item equivalence in multiple countries
