“Various papers published in Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe have highlighted an improvement in the living conditions of new cohorts reaching retirement age. This paper examines whether this general trend to old age democratization applies also to elderly immigrants. It reviews some dimensions of the older immigrant population situation in Switzerland. It explores mainly their socio-economic and health situation. The article also examines their access to social security and to social services for elderly people. It reports selected findings from two original surveys carried in Switzerland in the 1990s (Pre-Retired Immigrants study, PRI) and the 2000s (Minority Elderly Care study, MEC) on older Italian, Spanish and former Yugoslavians citizens who are residents in the country. The article gives also more general information about Swiss social security and social work with older populations.”<\/p>\n

“Diff\u00e9rents travaux publi\u00e9s en Suisse et ailleurs en Europe ont mis en \u00e9vidence une am\u00e9lioration des conditions de vie de nouvelles cohortes qui arrivent \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de la retraite. Cet article examine si cette tendance g\u00e9n\u00e9rale vers une d\u00e9mocratisation de la vieillesse s’applique aussi aux immigr\u00e9s \u00e2g\u00e9s. Il passe en revue un certain nombre de dimensions concernant la situation de la population \u00e2g\u00e9e immigr\u00e9e r\u00e9sidante en Suisse. Il s\u2018int\u00e9resse principalement \u00e0 la situation de cette population tant sur le plan socio-\u00e9conomique que sur celui de la sant\u00e9. L’article analyse aussi les questions d’acc\u00e8s des immigr\u00e9s \u00e2g\u00e9s \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sociale et aux services sociaux pour les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es. Le mat\u00e9riel empirique qui sert de base \u00e0 l’article est tir\u00e9 de deux recherches men\u00e9es en Suisse dans les ann\u00e9es 1990 (\u00e9tude Pr\u00e9-retrait\u00e9s immigr\u00e9s, PRI) et dans les ann\u00e9es 2000 (\u00e9tude Minority Elderly Care, MEC), sur des personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es italiennes, espagnoles et ex-Yougoslaves qui r\u00e9sident dans ce pays. L’article fournit \u00e9galement des informations plus g\u00e9n\u00e9rales sur le syst\u00e8me suisse de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 social et sur le travail social avec des populations \u00e2g\u00e9es.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
