Retirement Migration to the Global South

Global Inequalities and Entanglements

Cornelia Schweppe

Social Science / Human Geography

This book examines the increasing evidence of international retirement migration (IRM) to countries of the Global South. IRM to countries of the Global South points to the increasing global interconnectedness of aging in relatively affluent countries and raises critical questions about its interrelations with global inequalities. This book provides a critical analysis of these global interrelations and their intertwinements with global inequalities and addresses the complex and multi-layered dimensions and implications of this development. It highlights the (ambiguous) everyday lives of retirement migrants in the countries of destination, and the severe impacts on the destination countries that are marked by processes of recolonization, and the reproduction, enhancement and reconfiguration of social inequalities. The growing retirement industry that capitalizes on retirement migration exploiting global differences and structural disadvantages of countries in the Global South is anotherintegral part of this book.

Cornelia Schweppe, PhD, is a Full Professor of Social Pedagogy at the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (Germany), Institute of Education.
