To examine the need for and arrangements pertaining to personal care assistance among individuals 65 and older, and how life stage at migration impacts nativity differences in aging-related care.
Using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (2001, 2004, and 2008), I examine the odds of needing care assistance, who provides care assistance, and the duration of time care assistance is needed, comparing U.S.-born individuals to migrants who arrived before age 50 ("earlier-life migrants") and those who arrived after age 50 ("later-life migrants").
While earlier-life migrants showed similar patterns to U.S.-born, later-life migrants showed higher care needs, were more likely to receive care from an adult child, and were particularly likely to need care for longer durations compared to U.S.-born.
Aging later-life migrants have strikingly distinct care needs and arrangements, with implications for individual and family well-being, especially considering their barriers to public support.
考察 65 岁及以上人群对个人护理援助的需求和安排，以及移民时的生活阶段如何影响与衰老相关的护理方面的出生差异。
利用收入和参与项目调查（2001、2004 和 2008 年）的数据，我通过比较美国出生者与在 50 岁之前（“早年移民”）和 50 岁以后（“晚年移民”）到达的移民，考察了需要护理援助的可能性、提供护理援助的人员以及需要护理援助的时间长短。
虽然早年移民与美国出生者表现出相似的模式，但晚年移民的护理需求更高，更有可能从成年子女那里获得护理，并且与美国出生者相比，他们特别可能需要更长时间的护理。
晚年移民的老龄化具有显著不同的护理需求和安排，这对个人和家庭的幸福产生影响，尤其是考虑到他们获得公共支持的障碍。
