Care and caring among ageing migrant workers in two informal settlements in Harare
In this study of older migrants living in informal settlements in Harare, we seek to understand what care and caring means for older people ageing far from their place of origin in conditions of informality in a country with no formal care infrastructure. We find that care relations derive from histories of migration, community, kinship, aspiration, displacement and disenfranchisement, with the provision of security within insecure systems core t…
Un-African Aging? Discourses of the Socio-Spatial Welfare for Older People in Urban Zimbabwe
Global discourse has evidenced that the physical and social environment continues to have a large bearing on how people age, resulting in growing recognition of the socio-spatial needs of older people in urban environments.

A sample of national policy documents and media articles were carefully selected and inspected…

Motivated largely by an economic rationale, the camps are often produced rapidly, cheaply…
