Older refugees
A Working Paper for the Older Refugees Programme – A Literature Review and Interviews with Refugees [January 2008]
The Older Refugees Programme has been a two year joint programme to highlight the issues and concerns that older refugees have about their circumstances and daily lives in the UK. This working paper combines a Literature Review (first published electronically in April 2006) with the Analysis of Interviews with older refugees (first published electronically in January 2007). These two reports are re-issued for the Older Refugees Conference – ‘From Isolation to Integration’ (January 2008). The Literature Review provides a comprehensive overview of previous research on issues relating to older refugees’ experience in the UK, and identifies a series of research questions which are worthy of consideration for further research in this important area. The Older Refugees Programme is a partnership project between Age Concern England, the Refugee Council, Age Concern London and the Association of Greater London Women (AGLOW) |
