Abstract
"This paper develops a conceptual model of the process of community change [in the United States] in response to elderly inmigration. Analysis of intra-regional variation in elderly migration patterns in Appalachia, and synthesis of an emergent literature on the benefits and costs of attracting elderly migrants, serve as a backdrop for case studies, based on field observations and interviews, of three contrasting Appalachian communities at different stages of development as retirement destinations." excerptKeywords: Adult; Age Factors; Aged; Americas; Case Studies; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Employment Status; Migration; Migration, Internal; Models, Theoretical; North America; Northern America; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Research Methodology; Retirement; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status; Studies; United States
