Aging, Migration, and Digital Technologies: Welfare, Inclusion, and Transnational Lives in the Nordics and Japan (Social Perspectives on Ageing and Later Life)

Aging, Migration, and Digital Technologies explores how processes of migration and aging are entangled with digital practices in the contexts of the Nordic countries (Sweden and Finland) and Japan.At the forefront of the digitalization of welfare services and the permeation of digital communication more generally, these regions provide a compelling lens through which to explore the shared and divergent experiences of aging, migration, and transnational families in a digital context. Drawing on empirical case studies, this volume investigates the transformative effects of digital technologies on the experiences of older migrants and their interactions with aging native populations.Chapters examine diverse migrant populations of varied regional, national, and linguistic backgrounds, encompassing those shaped by colonial histories, refugee programs, and labor, marriage, and professional mobility.The book critically addresses cultural differences in the definitions of care, help, and media
