Movilidad residencial de los adultos mayores y trayectorias de vida familiares en la ZMVM

the residential mobility of elder people in contexts such as mexico has been poorly studied. we believe that, unlike other countries in north america and europe, the changes of residence in the last stage of life, do not respond to the search of a better life after retirement, but are associated with a loss of individual autonomy, compensated by the family support. we analyze the relationships of dependency between elder people and their families, from an exploratory study of the residential mobility of elder people and the links between their life trajectories (family, residence and employment) and the ones of their families, in a large metropolis as the metropolitan area of mexico.
