This book provides a comprehensive view of the quality of life of older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds living in Australia.
The book is unique and significant because the descriptions and arguments presented are based on the lived experience and hence provide deep insights into the complexity and dynamics of CALD older migrants. Key areas of exploration include social connectedness and inclusion, post-retirement economic activities, living arrangement and housing choice, practice of care, intergenerational exchange, and life satisfaction. A focus is placed on the diversity of ageing experience. Pathways of ageing are one of the key factors in investigating inter and intra-ethnic commonalities and disparities. The policy and research implications presented will appeal to policy makers, practitioners and researchers.

Unique in its exploration of both opportunity and vulnerability factors that may have implications on quality of life for older people from Culturally and linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds

Invaluable resource for researchers and students, or those working within the domains of urban policy, city planning, regional planning and international development

Tackles big questions concerning population ageing, migration and the housing market for migrants
