In the Mediterranean region of Turkey, two populations of older migrants are increasing in number. The first group consists of northern European retirement migrants. The second group consists of former labour migrants who have returned “home” upon retirement. The two groups of older migrants are different in many ways. However, our study began with the assumption that they also share important similarities. The aim of our study was to gain insight into the residence and social security strategies of people who migrate later in life. Older migrants face specific risks and uncertainties related to their age. Their social security needs are clearly different from those of younger migrants. How does this influence their migratory decisions? How do they gain or retain access to various (public, family, private) resources and provisions in their “home” and their “host” state? How do they respond to, or make use of, the relevant legal framework (social security law, immigration law) in both states? What difference does their citizenship status make? The research for this study focused on older migrants who moved to Turkey after having spent (most of) their working lives in the Netherlands. The research population included Dutch retirement migrants as well as Turkish retirement returnees.
