Civic engagement among foreign-born and native-born older adults living in Europe: A SHARE-based analysis

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Civic engagement is one of the cornerstones of participatory democracy and fundamental to preventing old-age social exclusion. Even though civic engagement late-in-life has received considerable attention, there is a lacuna of research on
older migrants’ civic engagement. This study aims therefore to examine potential predictors of civic engagement in terms of formal volunteering and participation in political organisations among foreign-born and native-born older adults in Europe.
Attention is hereby given to how socio-structural resources and social capital are associated with civic engagement, and whether these associations difer between foreign-born and native-born. Data from wave 7 of the Survey of Health, Ageing
and Retirement in Europe [n=74,150; 5710 of them are foreign-born] were used in multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results show that socio-structural and social capital variables are positively associated with volunteering and participation
in political organisations, both in native-born and foreign-born older adults. The study also suggests that place of birth (in Europe vs. outside Europe) and age-upon-migration play a role in predicting civic engagement among foreign-born older adults, and are therefore features worth considering when studying older migrants’ civic engagement
