Abstract

Abstract: Since the beginning of the 21st century, the population and the migrant ratio of elderly migrants have increased obviously. The elderly migrants are diversified and can be categorized into three patterns, namely Employment Migrants(EM), Children-Caring Migrants(CCM), and Care-Seeking Migrants(CSM). With a three perspectives framework of life course, family arrangement and institutional factors, this paper shows that elderly migration is rooted in a society's own cultural and instructional background. There are still abundant human resources in elderly migrants, and family arrangement has typically important influence on elders' migration. Meanwhile, other factors that influence the migratory and livelihood arrangement of the elderly people include household registration system, social security system and other social institutions, and education condition, health condition, migration distance and the condition of the new residential area.

Key words: elderly migration, life course, family arrangement, institutional factors
