N1 - 24 N2 - Between the 1950s and the 1970s, immigration policy encouraged men to come alone to France while their families stayed in the country of origin. These “isolated people” hoped to go back home quickly. Hostels for single people were built for them. Over time, these men who had not allowed their wives and children to come to France to join them increased in number in the hostels and began to collectively grow older. Public authorities looked for a solution to help them to age well. Different measures were decided upon to sustain them within the hostels and facilitate travel to their countries of origin. However, the problem considered as that of “the isolated elderly” hides the diversity of forms of aging among different groups of immigrants UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-vie-sociale-2016-4-page-115?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
