Recommendations and Conclusions (Philip Sloane). 330 $aThis book provides a comprehensive overview of a growing phenomenon in migration: retired Americans moving to Latin America. Through in-depth profiles of two of the most popular destinations ? Cuenca, Ecuador and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, the book provides a unique commentary on the social forces shaping this new diaspora and its impact on the settings to which retirees relocate. Sections of the book address the lives and activities of retirees themselves; their impact on real estate, business development, and gentrification within historic cities; the availability and access to medical and long-term care services; and the role of governmental policies in attracting immigrant retirees and shaping their societal impact. Concluding sections provide guidance for potential retirees and for cities and countries interested in attracting these new immigrants while minimizing adverse impact on local culture and quality of life. Carefully researched and extensively illustrated with photographs, maps, figures, and tables, the book serves as an important new resource for scientists and policy makers, as well as for baby boomers who have retired abroad or are considering doing so. 410 0$aInternational Perspectives on Aging,$x2197-5841 ;$v27 606 $aRetirees$zUnited States 615 0$aRetirees 676 $a646.79 702 $aSloane$b Philip D. 702 $aZimmerman$b Sheryl 702 $aSilbersack$b Johanna 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373945903321 996 $aRetirement migration from the U.S. to Latin American colonial cities$92515903 997 $aUNINA
