ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to understand the relationships between ageing, later-life and migration, which are many and complex. Ageing and migration were reviewed two decades ago in two chapters (Warnes, 1992a; 1992c) in two volumes on Migration Processes and Patterns (Champion and Fielding, 1992a; Stillwell, Rees and Boden, 1992). The current chapter looks forward from this earlier work. Warnes played a pivotal role in advancing understanding of demography and ageing within human geography. His work has had an impact across the social sciences (e.g. Warnes, 2006).
