Rezumat

Articolul revizitează literatura de specialitate privind migrația internațională și statul bunăstării, concentrându-se asupra emergenței populației migranților în îmbatranire. Dscopul acestei dezvoltări teoretice este acela de a dezvolta un model teoretic care ar permite înțelegerea incluziunii migranților îmbătrânire în statul bunăstării. Articolul se întreabă cum sunt incluși migranții în vîrstă în sistemul de protecție socială. Mai mult, compară statele portughez și elvețian, în privința accesului la ingrijiri medicale si la pensii. Concluzia indică o populație eterogenă de migranți în vârstă pentru integrarea cărora statele și politicile nu sunt încă pregătite.
