초록

This paper investigates to uncover the unheard stories of older Korean migrants living in Auckland, who shifted out from Korea in later life. The stories are shared by six older Koreans who participated in a semi-structured interview, five female, and one male. The study identified three factors considered to play a part in well ageing for those older migrants. The three facets are 1) a learning experience; 2) a sense of belongingness and; 3) self-contentment. The findings from the study suggest perception of what is seen as well ageing that distinguishes the participants in this study from those older Koreans living in Korea. While there has been a continuous interest in the sector of well ageing, there is still a lack of understanding that specifically looks at the well ageing process in older migrants around the globe. This paper contributes to knowledge on the perception of the well ageing process based on the shared thoughts of older migrants.

Abstract

This paper investigates to uncover the unheard stories of older Korean migrants living in Auckland, who shifted out from Korea in later life. The stories are shared by six older Koreans who participated in a semi-structured interview, five female, and one male. The study identified three factors considered to play a part in well ageing for those older migrants. The three facets are 1) a learning experience; 2) a sense of belongingness and; 3) self-contentment. The findings from the study suggest perception of what is seen as well ageing that distinguishes the participants in this study from those older Koreans living in Korea. While there has been a continuous interest in the sector of well ageing, there is still a lack of understanding that specifically looks at the well ageing process in older migrants around the globe. This paper contributes to knowledge on the perception of the well ageing process based on the shared thoughts of older migrants.
