本文首先简短回顾了有关老年移民主题的越来越多的文献，特别是与该人群的多样性、社会脆弱性、孤独感、（跨国）护理和支持网络有关的文献。然后，它介绍了这一特刊的论文集，提出了一种研究老年移民作为社会行为者的方法，这些行为者制定了克服脆弱性的战略。老年移徙者在调动资源的同时，考虑到中观和宏观层面的结构性机会和限制。因此，他们的战略处于家庭义务和资源、社交网络以及移徙和照料制度之间的交叉点。这种跨学科和多层次的模式承认老年移徙者的异质性。文件最后讨论了对针对不断增长的老年移民人口的政策具有影响的研究结果。
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 resources while taking into account structural opportunities and restrictions from the meso and macro levels. Hence their strategies are placed at the intersection between family obligations and resources, social networks, and migration and care regimes. Such an interdisciplinary and multi-level model acknowledges the heterogeneity of older migrants. The paper concludes with a discussion of the research results that have implications for policies targeting the growing population of older migrants.
