This topical collection of the Revue Européenne des Migrations Internationales explores the interactions between aging and migration, moving beyond demographic or economic approaches. Here, "aging" is understood not only as a chronological or biological process but also as a long-term phenomenon in life courses and a shift in generational or age-based hierarchies. We propose examining how migration shapes aging and, conversely, how aging shapes migration. From this perspective, the aim is to loosen the often rigid contours of aging and to consider mobilities and movements through the lens of aging. We invite proposals that move beyond a Global North-centric perspective to interrogate migration through the prism of life courses, intergenerational relationships, and transnational ties, in both the North and the South. Three main themes will be prioritized: migration through the lens of aging; aging in countries of origin of migration; mobility and the relocation of care.
