退休后收入减少是一种脆弱性威胁，增加了对公共供应、家庭和/或社会（社区）支持的依赖。许多德国退休人员，除了生活方式的动机，搬到低成本的目的地，以保持自主和独立的生活，同时尽量减少财务恶化的风险。在这篇文章中，我讨论了德国退休人员在地中海沿岸城市阿拉尼亚，土耳其的脆弱性模式，以及社交网络的作用，特别注重代际家庭关系。我认为，尽管生活满意度提高，搬迁到国外的新目的地的结果在新出现的威胁。在阿拉尼亚的德国退休人员在缺乏代际家庭支持和被两个民族国家的法律的规定所框定的双重危险方面遇到困难。根据2017年在阿拉尼亚进行的实证研究的结果，我将展示搬迁后出现的新威胁以及退休人员如何应对新的应对策略。
Reduced income upon retirement is a vulnerability threat, which increases dependency on public provisions, familial, and/or social (community) support. Many German retirees, in addition to lifestyle motivations, move to low-cost destinations in order to maintain an autonomous and independent life while minimizing the risks of financial worsening. In this article, I discuss the vulnerability patterns of German retirees in the Mediterranean coastal town of Alanya, Turkey, and the role of social networks, with a particular focus on intergenerational family relations. I argue that, despite increased life satisfaction, relocation to a new destination abroad results in new emerging threats. German retirees in Alanya experience difficulties in terms of a lack of intergenerational family support and the double jeopardy of being framed by the legal regulations of two nation states. Based on the findings of the empirical research conducted in Alanya in 2017, I will demonstrate new threats emerged after relocation and how retirees respond to those with new coping strategies.
