Coping with old age in a Philippine emigrant community
1, 2 Sharon Street # 3, 94114, San Francisco, CA, U.S.A..
Abstract:
Because of the predominantly male migration to Hawaii in the 1920s and 1930s, there are many women in this Philippine community who have never married. These spinsters become dependent on nieces or nephews for a livelihood. Today, both men and women are going abroad, and grandparents often care for grandchildren, not only to provide a service for their emigrant children, but also to ensure the flow of remittances. Comparatively wealthy single men who return from Hawaii for their retirement marry young women and begin families. In addition to providing spouses to care for them in their old age, May-December marriages incorporate the retirees into the social and economic structure of the community. ka]Key Words kb]retirees kb]spinsters kb]emigrant communities kb]May-December marriages kb]remittances kb]Hawaii.
