Abstract

In spite of immigration remains a subject of major preoccupation, little is known about aging of labor immigrants living in residences. This phenomenon will continue to be amplified, more and more, in the next fifteen years. After having described this population from a sociological and demographical point of view, we were attached in this article to reveal different social and medical problems related to elderly immigrants living in residences. Even if several epidemiological data are still missing due to the absence of specific studies concerning immigrants which are growing old in residences, different propositions could be done in order to improve their social and sanitary conditions. :.
