“…The age and gender structure clearly re ects the impact of migration: young migrant workers who came in the 1950s and 1960s were predominantly male, although the proportion of women increased over time through family reuni cation. The experience of migration has been shown to have impacted not only on the demographic pro le, but on many other areas in the lives of (older) ethnic minority migrants, and the disadvantages in terms of health, income and accommodation have been well documented (Olbermann and Dietzel-Papakyriakou 1995;Dietzel-Papakyriakou andOlbermann 1996, 2000;Modood et al 1997;Reinprecht 1999). These unique circumstances have implications for social policy, particularly with regard to social care, and for the current debate on quality of life.…”

“…Although many older migrants have been in the host countries for several decades, they may never have given up the goal of returning. A number of commentators have explored the myriad con icting motivations for staying or returning, highlighting the complex decision-making processes involved (Blakemore 1999;Byron 1999;Dietzel-Papakyriakou 1999;Reinprecht 1999).…”

This paper addresses the relationship between models of quality of life and Europe's increasingly diverse older population. European social policy on old age is responding only slowly to the presence of older ethnic minority migrants. People who migrated primarily for economic reasons, and who may never have intended to stay in the host country, are now approaching retirement age and faced with crucial issues of how to manage old age in a foreign country. In view of a growing policy interest in extending the quality of life of Europe's older population, the paper examines current approaches to measuring quality of life. It is argued that existing models are not suited to addressing the particular circumstances of older ethnic minority migrants, as they omit crucial aspects related to migration and their impact on key life domains. The outline of a model will be constructed which takes account of these issues and may thus serve as a basis for a more informed discussion.
