"This policy-oriented book is also theoretically innovative and compelling. It demonstrates how the integration of international migrants into ageing societies relates to achieving sustainable development goals like reducing inequalities and managing climate change, while recognizing the complex social and political realities of migration governance. The scholarship is uniformly excellent. Focusing on Spain and Luxembourg, this book is a model of cross-national, interdisciplinary research involving multiple research teams."
