Abstract
The migration patterns of the elderly are placed in a developmental perspective. For those who migrate, three kinds of moves tend to occur among the aging in a modern society: one when they retire, a second when they experience moderate forms of disability, and a third when they have major forms of chronic disability. Litwak's formulations on the extended family provide the context for these patterns, whereas Longino provides much of the migration data.Keywords
