Summary

Elderly individuals with increasing functional disabilities are more likely to move, supporting a life course model of migration. This research verifies a previously unconfirmed type of elderly migration related to disability.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Sociology of Aging
  • Migration Studies

Background:

  • The life course model of elderly migration by Litwak and Longino (1987) includes a second move type linked to chronic disabilities.
  • This intermediate migration type, occurring between amenity and institutional moves, lacked empirical verification in prior research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically test the proposition that the likelihood of elderly migration increases with instrumental functional disability over time.
  • To validate the second move typology within the Litwak and Longino (1987) model of retirement migration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 1984 and 1986 waves of the Longitudinal Study of Aging.
  • Employed statistical modeling to assess the relationship between instrumental functional disability levels and the proportion of moves.

Main Results:

  • The study found a positive correlation between higher levels of instrumental functional disability and the probability of elderly individuals moving.
  • The model's generated probabilities align with Litwak and Longino's predictions for the second stage of retirement migration.

Conclusions:

  • The findings provide empirical support for the existence and significance of disability-related migration in later life.
  • This research validates a key component of the life course model of elderly migration, highlighting the role of functional decline in residential changes.
