This paper explores differences in social participation among low‐income older migrants and socioeconomically similar native Dutch older adults living in deprived neighborhoods in Amsterdam. It also analyzes experiences of social participation in relation to perceived neighborhood conditions. Analysis of 85 in‐depth interviews reveals that the types of activities that low‐income older adults participate in center around less demanding (collective) rather than more demanding (political and productive) forms of social participation. Differences in social participation were associated with personal characteristics and with neighborhood experiences. The findings articulate the dynamic and complex interaction between the competencies of older adults belonging to different ethnic communities and their diverse preferences and environmental needs. Older migrants living in areas where their own group is dominant enjoyed better access to ethnic services and experienced greater opportunities for social interaction. However, when compared to their native Dutch counterparts, they were more likely to encounter language barriers and to experience specific environmental problems, such as inadequate housing conditions and paid parking.

阿姆斯特丹贫困城市社区低收入老年人的社会参与：一项针对荷兰本土荷兰人、苏里南人、摩洛哥人和土耳其移民的研究


本文探讨了生活在阿姆斯特丹贫困社区的低收入老年移民和社会经济相似的荷兰本土老年人在社会参与方面的差异。它还分析了与感知的邻里条件相关的社会参与经历。对 85 次深度访谈的分析表明，低收入老年人参与的活动类型集中在要求较低（集体）的社会参与形式，而不是要求较高（政治和生产）的社会参与形式。社会参与的差异与个人特征和邻里经历有关。研究结果阐明了不同种族社区老年人的能力与其不同的偏好和环境需求之间动态而复杂的相互作用。生活在自己群体占主导地位的地区的老年移民能够更好地获得民族服务，并有更多的社会交往机会。然而，与荷兰本土同行相比，他们更有可能遇到语言障碍并遇到特定的环境问题，例如住房条件不足和付费停车。
