RUBIES, Isabel Pujadas; BAYONA-I-CARRASCO, Jordi    PEREZ, Miguel Rubiales. Residential mobility of old people in Spain: a metropolitan perspective. []. , 102, pp.121-142. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/Finis4250.

This paper analyses the internal migration of the elderly in the Barcelona and Madrid metropolitan areas. The population with more than 80 years experienced an increase in the intensity of their mobility over the past two decades. This growth is distributed throughout the country and associated with an age related autonomy loss. From a territorial point of view, the main traits of these migrations are: an overrepresentation of exits from the central cities of both metropolises and the concentration of arrivals in some peripheral municipalities, specifically in those where single-family dwellings are the predominant housing typology. These features, in both Barcelona and Madrid, can be explained by the prior migration of children and the regional location of nursing homes
