Abstract

Access to social protection in old age is crucial and yet contingent upon negotiations between the social structures of the welfare states and the personal networks within which individuals are embedded. International migration, changing family dynamics, and the transformation of care and other welfare policies in the global North make it challenging for older migrants to negotiate social protection. Drawing on 45 semi-structured interviews with first-generation older Turkish migrants in London and 13 semi-structured interviews with professional service providers for the community, the paper aims to investigate the assemblages of formal and informal social protection in the lives of older migrants. Findings indicate the complexity in accessing informal social protection and the navigation of formal care support in the UK for first generation older Turkish migrants and the contingency of access to formal care services on informal support networks for participants. It has been demonstrated that built infrastructure and policies aimed at older adults have great influence on assemblages of care, highlighting the need for more age-friendly and integrated policies to facilitate access to social protection for diverse groups of older adults.

协商社会保护和照顾：伦敦第一代土耳其老年人社区研究

老年人获得社会保护至关重要，但这取决于福利国家的社会结构与个人所处的个人网络之间的谈判。国际移民、不断变化的家庭动态以及全球北方护理和其他福利政策的转变，使老年移民在协商社会保护时面临挑战。本文通过对伦敦第一代土耳其老年移民的 45 次半结构式访谈，以及对社区专业服务提供者的 13 次半结构式访谈，旨在调查老年移民生活中正式和非正式社会保护的组合。研究结果表明，第一代土耳其老年移民在英国获得非正规社会保护和正规护理支持的复杂性，以及参与者在非正规支持网络中获得正规护理服务的偶然性。研究结果表明，针对老年人的基础设施建设和政策对护理服务的组合有很大影响，这突出表明需要制定对老年人更加友好的综合政策，以方便不同的老年人群体获得社会保护。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
