Focusing on the ageing-migration nexus, the book uncovers the realities of France's migrant worker hostels, revealing why older North and West African men choose to remain in sub-standard housing beyond retirement age. It challenges the conventional belief that retirees should return to their home countries, where their pensions would be more valuable. Through this exploration, the narrative sheds light on the complexities of home, belonging, and the lived experiences of these migrant workers.
