Facts, figures, personal stories: an inventory in five EU Countries
Produced by: AGE+ , 2005
Via: Eldis
This reports summarises key findings on the situation of older migrant women in the five participating countires of the AGE+ project - the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands and Italy.
The report argues that older migrant women belong to a vulnerable group. Statistically they are hardly visible and their lives go practically unnoticed. The results of the research that does exist do not render a positive image. Because of their limited possibilities at the labour market, low incomes and insufficient pensions, migrant women are at risk of spending their retirement in poverty. Along with the feminisation of poverty, there is now a high risk of the colouring of poverty.
