Specyfika przemieszczeń wewnętrznych osób starszych w Polsce

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify regularities in internal migration of elderly people in Poland. In the analysis we focus mainly on directions of migration (urban, rural), demographic structure of migrants, and spatial distribution (at voivodeship level) of senior migrants. The study is based on results of the 2002 and 2011 National Population and Housing Censuses and current reports of the Statistical Central Office.
 The results show that an increase in average life expectancy in good health leads to postponement of decisions to migrate to a later stage of life. It is reflected in a rise in the number of married persons amongst seniors changing a domicile. In case of persons in advanced age, who are usually single, less educated and of poor health, the migration is often a result of necessity rather than choice. The results of the 2011census indicate that current senior migrants are relatively younger than those who migrated a decade earlier. This suggests that the existing pattern of forced migration of seniors has changed to voluntary moves in Poland.

The Use of GIS Technology to Optimize COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution: A Case Study of the City of Warsaw, Poland

“…The data are valid for 16 June 2020. In Poland, in the case of persons aged 50 and above, one can observe a much lower mobility in terms of their actual place of residence differing from their place of registered residence, which is caused by many factors, from economic to those related to health and individual preferences [ 52 ]. Therefore, in this study it was assumed that the demographic structure of the city’s registered residents aged 50 and over is the same as that of the actual residents in this age group, which enabled identification of areas with a high density of residents aged 50 and over.…”

Imigranci po 60. roku życia – przypadek Polski

“…Breuer, 2005; Benson, O'Reilly, 2009; La Parra, Mateo, 2008;Ruspini, 2009;Gustafson, 2008Gustafson, , 2009Hall, 2016;Uren, Goldring, 2007;Repetti, Phillipson, Calasanti, 2018;Warnes, Williams, 2006;Walsh, Näre, 2016). Również w polskiej literaturze po 2000 r. coraz częściej można znaleźć opracowania dotyczące migracji międzynarodowych osób starszych (Bielewska, 2012; Kałuża-Kopias, 2015; Ptak, 2012; Pytel, Kamińska, Kiniorska, Brambert, 2020; Kiełkowska, Jaźwińska, Kloc-Nowak, Kordasiewicz, Radziwinowicz, 2016; Krzyżowski, 2012) oraz migracji wewnętrznych (Kałuża, 2006; Kałuża-Kopias, 2014Pytel, 2017).…”

Daily mobility of the elderly: An example from Łódź, Poland

“…The studies conducted by Schwanen, Dijst and Dieleman (2001), Páez et al (2007), Roorda et al (2010) indicate that there are considerable differences among the elderly in terms of frequency of travel, distance and means of transport. Factors determining these differences include social status, their financial situation, current health condition and mobility, lifestyle, and motivations at various stages of senectitude (Kałuża-Kopias 2014;Raczyńska-Buława 2017). The wide diversity of mobility patterns observed among the elderly poses an complex problem and has become a significant challenge for transportation planning and policy (Metz 2003;Páez et al 2007;Schwanen and Páez 2010), This is particularly noticeable in cities where the process of population ageing is exceptionally dynamic and is, at the same time, related to the phenomenon of depopulation, as illustrated by the example of Łódź used here.…”
