The poverty risks of migrants who retire in their host country: evidence from the first post-war wave of migration into Europe
The poverty risks of migrants who retire in their host country: evidence from the first post-war wave of migration into Europe
Migrants’ social rights have received increased academic and political attention over the last decade, not least because of the significant increase in migration within and into the European Economic Area (EEA) over this period. Academic, political and media attention has focused on the immediate social policy challenges these movements pose to destination countries with less consideration given to the longer-term impact of migration. Indeed, with regard particularly to intra-European Union migration, the assumption is widespread that migrants will return home, if not before retirement then certainly at that stage. Evidence from earlier migrations suggests this is mistaken. Against this background, it is important to know the likely financial situation migrants will face when they retire. This chapter investigates the financial situation of a sample of retired migrants from the first wave of post-war migration to the EEA by using the first wave of the SHARE dataset.

Abstract
Migrants’ social rights have received increased academic and political attention over the last decade, not least because of the significant increase in migration within and into the European Economic Area (EEA) over this period. Academic, political and media attention has focused on the immediate social policy challenges these movements pose to destination countries with less consideration given to the longer-term impact of migration. Indeed, with regard particularly to intra-European Union migration, the assumption is widespread that migrants will return home, if not before retirement then certainly at that stage. Evidence from earlier migrations suggests this is mistaken. Against this background, it is important to know the likely financial situation migrants will face when they retire. This chapter investigates the financial situation of a sample of retired migrants from the first wave of post-war migration to the EEA by using the first wave of the SHARE dataset.
