Demographic and socioeconomic aspects of elderly migration in the 1980s

Article Abstract:

The migratory behavior of aged people during the 1980s is related to their age, income and education. The younger section and affluent aged tend to migrate more often than the older aged. Individuals between 55 and 64 years of age, move more frequently and over longer distances. The younger group's migration is linked to a search for economic advantages, and older one's to a need for social support. Married people migrate less often, probably due to family ties. The younger aged that are poorly educated are the least likely to migrate while those in the older group are the most likely to migrate.

Recent trends and future prospects for the elderly in Scandinavia

Article Abstract:

The social and economic development raised the standard of living of old people in Scandinavia after World War II and through the 1970s. In the following decades, the needs of the aged have been neglected and the budget allocation for the aged has decreased. A further development along these lines will reinforce the inequalities and will trouble the growing number of the elderly and their families.
