Book Description
This title focuses on the lives of a group of women from the UK who moved to the Costa Blanca in Spain in retirement. We follow their journeys as they seek 'community' and belonging in a world characterised by rapid social change. Imbued with nostalgic yearning, community is hailed as a panacea to the ills of modernity and as a representation of social continuity.

Book Description
We moved to the lovely Costa Blanca North around eight years ago, and I can honestly say that we have had no regrets at all in leaving grey, cold, crowded England. Life here is as good as it gets; the weather is kind, the people lovely, the food and drink excellent, the whole lifestyle an object lesson in how life should be lived. Sounds wonderful? Take my word for it, it is! Before we moved, I thought I had done as much research as it was possible to do. I thought I had all the answers at my fingertips; and bear in mind I used to work for the British Library, so if I could not be confident that I had done my research well and thoroughly, who could? I read numerous “how to” guides, haunted the internet, made sure I kept up with all the Costa Blanca local papers on line. It was only after we had made the move, alas, that I realized that I had neglected the one, vital thing that all expats don´t understand, and it´s a real Catch-22 situation. You see, when you make the move, when you finally get over here and start settling in, you suddenly realize that whilst all that research is lovely, you still don´t have the key to living here.Why? Simply because you don´t know what the right questions are to ask! You really do have to live here to know how true this simple fact is. The manuals and the internet articles are a help, of course, but they are far less than half the story.Until you move here, you have no real idea of how differently things are done in Spain. Everything from buying to your house, to everyday living is not as is done in the UK! But you can get there, you just need to know what to ask, who to ask, and how to ask it! And the answers are here. Basically, this is a Guide to Questions I Wish I had Known About 8 years Ago, when we moved over. Together, of course, with the all important answers. I do not - not for one second! - regret making the move, but Oh! - how I wish I had had someone to tell me these secrets at the time.In any event, here it is, and I look forward to raising a glass of something nice to you when you arrive in the lovely Costa Blanca, to enjoy your well-earned retirement.Bienvenidos a Costa Blanca!

Book Description
The last few decades have seen an increase in the migration of ageing people from richer Northern and Western countries to poorer Southern and Eastern countries. This book seeks to understand the motivation behind retirement migration and how precarity in later life contributes to this trend. Drawing on accounts of retirees from different nations, the book examines how welfare policies in their home country and their country of migration interact to shape their experiences of migration. It shows how ageism impacts social precarity across different social classes, and across economic, social and health dimensions. It also evaluates how local and global systems of inequalities influence retirement migrants’ experience, providing both opportunities and constraints that differ across countries.

Book Description
Migration is now firmly embedded as a leading global policy issue of the twenty-first century.

Against this evolving backdrop, this Handbook offers an authoritative overview of key debates underpinning migration and health in a contemporary global context.

Book Description
Retirement is a time of opportunity. Without the routine demands of working life, new ambitions can be realized and experiences enjoyed. Yet with so much to consider, people are often unsure how best to plan for their future. Furthermore, with rising retirement ages, the closure of many final salary pension schemes, poor annuity rates and uncertainty regarding universal benefits, the scope for concern and confusion is even greater. The Good Retirement Guide is essential reading for all those looking forward to making the most of their retirement, and offers clear and concise suggestions and advice on a broad range of retirement-related subjects, including finance (investments, pensions, annuities, benefits and tax), housing, health, holidays, starting a business and looking after elderly parents.

Book Description
Return migration is a topic of growing interest among academics and policy makers. Nonetheless, issues of psychosocial wellbeing are rarely discussed in its context. Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing problematises the widely-held assumption that return to the country of origin, especially in the context of voluntary migrations, is a psychologically safe process. By exploding the forced-voluntary dichotomy, it analyses the continuum of experiences of return and the effect of time, the factors that affect the return process and associated mobilities, and their multiple links with returned migrants' wellbeing or psychosocial issues. Drawing research encompassing four different continents – Europe, North America, Africa and Asia – to offer a blend of studies, this timely volume contrasts with previous research which is heavily informed by clinical approaches and concepts, as the contributions in this book come from various disciplinary approaches such as sociology, geography, psychology, politics and anthropology. Indeed, this title will appeal to academics, NGOs and policy-makers working on migration and psychosocial wellbeing; and undergraduate and postgraduate students who are interested in the fields of migration, social policy, ethnicity studies, health studies, human geography, sociology and anthropology.
