Mobile Ageing: Transnational Pendular Migration and Care Networks of Retirees between Turkey and Germany

该项目调查了在土耳其和德国之间的护理需求和服务背景下，退休人员的跨境移动老龄化实践及其社会网络之间的联系。越来越多的来自德国的老年人——无论是否有土耳其移民背景——暂时定居在土耳其的旅游区，作为流动退休场所。从土耳其沿海城市阿拉尼亚开始，将对有或没有土耳其移民背景的德国退休人员的流动实践和护理网络进行两项子研究。该项目的目的是比较地了解这两个群体维持越界生活方式的条件，查明原因和动机，并了解各种形式的照顾和支助如何在跨国网络中流通。

The project investigates the connections between the border-crossing mobile ageing practices of retirees and their social networks in the context of care needs and services between Turkey and Germany. A growing number of elderly people from Germany - with and without prior turkish migration background - temporarily settles in tourist areas of Turkey as mobile retirement locations. Starting from the turkish coastal city of Alanya, two sub-studies will be carried out on the mobility practices and care networks of retirees from Germany both with and without prior migration backgrounds from Turkey. The project aims to understand comparatively for both groups the conditions under which border-crossing lifestyles can be maintained, to identify causes and motivations, and to understand how forms of care and support circulate in transnational networks.
