This comprehensive Handbook explores the fundamental concepts surrounding the ageing-migration nexus. It is indispensable reading, presenting interdisciplinary research to investigate the unique experiences of older migrants, migrant eldercare workers and older people left behind.

‘The Handbook on Migration and Ageing represents a comprehensive overview of one of the major social and public policy issues of our time. It offers both a detailed conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between migration and ageing, as well as a state-of-the-art survey of empirical research. A major virtue of the Handbook is demonstrating the diversity of migrants and the migration experience, ranging over a wide variety of subjects and themes. It represents a major editorial achievement and will be a key reference work for academics, policymakers and practitioners alike.’
