OBJECTIVES
Older immigrants are affected by an accumulation of adversities related to migration and aging. This study investigates resilience in older immigrants by examining the resources they use to deal with these adversities in the course of their lives.
METHODS
Data from 23 life-story interviews with Turkish and Moroccan immigrants aged 60-69 years living in the Netherlands.
RESULTS
The circumstances under which individuals foster resilience coincide with four postmigration life stages: settling into the host society, maintaining settlement, restructuring life postretirement, and increasing dependency. Resources that promote resilience include education in the country of origin, dealing with language barriers, having two incomes, making life meaningful, strong social and community networks, and the ability to sustain a transnational lifestyle traveling back and forth to the country of origin. More resilient individuals invest in actively improving their life conditions and are good at accepting conditions that cannot be changed.
DISCUSSION
The study illustrates a link between conditions across life stages, migration, and resilience. Resilient immigrants are better able to accumulate financial and social and other resources across life stages, whereas less resilient immigrants lose access to resources in different life stages.
目的
老年移民受到与移民和老龄化相关的各种逆境的累积影响。本研究通过考察他们在生活中用来应对这些逆境的资源，来研究老年移民的适应力。
方法
数据来自 23 名生活故事访谈，涉及居住在荷兰的 60-69 岁的土耳其和摩洛哥移民。
结果
个体培养适应力的情况与四个后移民生活阶段相吻合：融入东道国社会、维持定居、退休后重新安排生活、以及依赖性增加。促进适应力的资源包括原籍国的教育、应对语言障碍、拥有两份收入、使生活有意义、强大的社会和社区网络，以及能够维持跨国生活方式，往返原籍国。更有适应力的个体积极投资改善生活条件，并善于接受无法改变的条件。
讨论
该研究说明了生活阶段、移民和适应力之间的联系。有适应力的移民在不同的生活阶段更能积累财务和社会等资源，而适应力较弱的移民则在不同的生活阶段失去了获得资源的机会。
