演講簡介：The idea that social rights are something we are eligible for based on where we live or where we are citizens is out-of-date. This talk uses different projects of mine – including Time and Migration (Cornell University Press, 2021),Transnational Social Protection (Oxford University, 2023), and the data from my new book project – to consider what happens to social welfare when more and more people live, work, study, and retire outside their countries of citizenship where they receive health,education, and elder care. I use the concept of resource environment to show how migrants and their families piece together packages of protections from multiple sources in multiple settings. These resource environments, however, vary across borders, contexts, and people’s structural locations. Examining how national social welfare is affected when migration and mobility become an integral part of everyday life, this talk addresses why it is important to move our understanding of social protection from the national to the transnational.
This talk draws on examples from aging and migration scholarships to demonstrate the ways a new, hybrid transnational social protection regime has emerged in response to the changes and challenges that emerge at a later stage of life. The resource environments that older individuals – migrants or non-migrants-construct across scales, sources, and spaces complements, supplements, or, in some cases, substitutes for national social welfare systems as we knew them.
