ISBN: 9783319649757 出版年：2017 页码：129 Alistair Hunter Springer

This book offers new insights into the ageing-migration nexus and the nature of home. Documenting the hidden world of france’s migrant worker hostels, it explores why older north and west african men continue to live past retirement age in this sub-standard housing. Conventional wisdom holds that at retirement labour migrants ought to instead return to their families in home countries, where their french pensions would have far greater purchasing power.
