Social Inclusion Of Dependent Aged Immigrants

With the process of urbanization and population aging in China, under the district economic imbalance, and the migrant families of the trend is clearly moved, and preference of family pension model and other factors, many aged people who are not able to live all by themselves have migrated to the area of their children’s lives. In this paper, we study the dependent aged immigrants as the research object. In order to understand the living conditions of the aged after their children were moved to the new living environment, to assess the status of their integration into society, to explore the obstacle of integration, we use participant observation method and interview method.It is a process to integrate into a new living environment for the aged dependent immigrants. Then what is the condition of the aged to adapt and integrate into the new society? What are the factors that hinder their successful integration into society?Under the guidance of Push-Pull theory, social integration theory and resocialization theory, the article discusses the social inclusion of dependent aged immigrants. The Push-Pull theory suggests that there are some factors which attract the aged in immigrant areas. After the aged moved in, they can take care of each other with their children. The social integration theory suggests that it is difficult to integrate into the new society because of migration which includes economic life, cultural life, social life and psychological identity in the resettlement areas.The social integration of the dependent aged migration population is as follows: The economic situation of the elderly migration is in the middle level, and the main economic source depends on their children. The study shows that although the aged know each other, they aren’t familiar mutually and forms “Semi-stranger society”. In the end, almost all the aged immigrants haven’t recognized the resettlement areas on the psychology integration.
