Transnational aging: The link between migration and aging in Mexico
Despite the importance of population aging in both Latin America and among U.S. Latinos, and continuity and scope of migration flows from Latin America (particularly Mexico) to the United States, there is limited understanding of the link between immigration and aging in the Americas. While an extensive body of literature has examined the impact of emigration and migrant remittances on the educational attainment of younger generations, how these forces shape the process of aging in Latin America remains understudied.
