Jayanthi Lingham and Majella Kilkey have published a new report, ‘Migration and the Right to Care’, from the Borders and Care research study in the Centre for Care.
The report shares the care experiences and needs of older people with histories of international migration now living in Sheffield, UK, and those in care relationships with them; and makes policy recommendations on what needs to change for older migrants to both receive and provide good care.
This study explores the care experiences and needs of older people (aged 50+) with histories of international migration living in Sheffield, UK, and those in care relationships with them. We define care broadly — not just formal services, but all support forms promoting wellbeing and inclusion in daily life.
Older people are often talked ‘about’, rather than directly included in, conversations about care. Meanwhile, migration-related conversations often focus on younger migrants. Our work addresses this gap by foregrounding the voices of older migrants and understanding how their migration histories might affect current care experiences and needs, including their rights to equal access to good care.
