ABSTRACT
Transnational aging, although a young field (Horn, Schweppe and Um 2013), has rapidly expanded into an area of strong research interest. Google Scholar, for example, reveals 2,580 hits for “transnational aging” from 2013 alone (April 2014 search). Although numerous topics are covered under the rubric of transnational aging, the research focus has been largely on the micro-level, on the lives of family members and paid care workers who care for, or arrange the care for, older people across boundaries, on dyadic relations of carer with care recipient (see, e.g., Baldassar and Merla, 2013; Wall and Bolzman 2013). A second research focus has been on caregiver/caregiving policies within and across countries (e.g., Yeates 2012; Zhou 2013a).
