La mobilité résidentielle comme cause et conséquence de vulnérabilité chez les personnes âgées à La Réunion

Abstract

On the basis of a literature review and a corpus of fourteen semi-directive interviews, the aim of this article is to relate the vulnerability factors of the Reunion Island, those of the elderly in this French overseas department and those possibly caused by residential mobility. For this purpose, a macroscopic analysis and an individual analysis are proposed with vulnerability factors in the economic, health, social and environmental domains. These two levels of analysis indicate call for a fine territorial approach to better understand the vulnerability of old people and its interactions with a residential mobility.
