Cyclical migration among elderly immigrants: The case of Taiwanese Canadians in Greater Vancouver.

Cyclical migration among elderly immigrants: The case of Taiwanese Canadians in Greater Vancouver. - 138 p.

Adviser: Gloria Gutman.

Thesis (M.A.)--Simon Fraser University (Canada), 2000.

This thesis empirically examined cyclical migration among elderly immigrants---a phenomenon not addressed previously in the gerontological literature. 169 seniors who immigrated directly from Taiwan comprised the study sample (88 non-migrants and 81 cyclical migrants). They were interviewed to examine: (1) the pattern of, and reason for cyclical migration; (2) determinants of cyclical migration; and (3) the correlates of cyclical migration with health care utilization, social integration and socio-psychological well-being. A synthesis of Wiseman's behavioural model of elderly migration and Northcott's social demographic model of elderly mobility provided the theoretical basis for the research questions. The seasonal migration literature and cultural factors pertinent to the Taiwanese were also incorporated in formulating the research questions.

520 $a This thesis empirically examined cyclical migration among elderly immigrants---a phenomenon not addressed previously in the gerontological literature. 169 seniors who immigrated directly from Taiwan comprised the study sample (88 non-migrants and 81 cyclical migrants). They were interviewed to examine: (1) the pattern of, and reason for cyclical migration; (2) determinants of cyclical migration; and (3) the correlates of cyclical migration with health care utilization, social integration and socio-psychological well-being. A synthesis of Wiseman's behavioural model of elderly migration and Northcott's social demographic model of elderly mobility provided the theoretical basis for the research questions. The seasonal migration literature and cultural factors pertinent to the Taiwanese were also incorporated in formulating the research questions.
520 $a Based on the findings, it is suggested that for elderly Taiwanese, cyclical migration acts as a way of fulfilling their socio-psychological, health care and economic needs alter immigrating to Canada. It is recommended that emphasis be placed on culturally sensitive and accessible health cane and social services for immigrant seniors, not necessarily to replace but to supplement their personal resources.
