ABSTRACT
This chapter is dedicated to those in the 65+ age category, generally considered as the elderly, but also to the cluster of people in transition from labour to retirement. Their socio-economic status in working life determines largely their status as an elderly migrant. The literature on social cohesion indicators introduces other possible types of analysis concerning the social and political integration of migrants. Labour migration is one of the main demographic, social and economic characteristics of Luxembourg. In 2011, Portuguese nationals represented more than a third of the total non-national population living in Luxembourg. The scholarly literature on elderly migrants mainly focuses on the question of ageing and the challenges that the ageing of migrants entail. Segmented labour markets are characterised by various sub-groups with little or no crossover capability. More scientific work has to be done concerning the participation of elderly migrants in society.
