Abstract
This study investigates preference for ageing-in-place (AIP) among local older adults in a Chinese county with a large concentration of internal migrants. The current study was a secondary analysis of data from 755 community-dwelling elderly linked with county-level neighbourhood administrative data. We found that older adults living in neighbourhoods with a high concentration of migrants were 46% less likely to prefer AIP than those living in neighbourhoods with a low concentration of migrants. Such associations remained significant only among those less educated. Community-based programmes to encourage social contact among migrants and local older adults should be promoted.
