MPI Report Focuses on U.s. Citizens Retiring in Mexico

America's Emigrants, published by the Migration Policy Institute, takes a detailed look at US retirement migration to two countries -- Mexico and Panama -- that have experienced particularly dramatic growth in their US senior populations in recent years.  The report provides analysis of demographic data as well as findings from interviews and focus groups led by MPI researchers.  It explores the number and characteristics of US seniors in Mexico and Panama and looks at US retirees' experiences in and impacts on their new communities abroad.  The report gives special attention to the role of government policies - from visa policies in destination countries to health policies in the United States - in promoting or deterring international retirement migration.  It also features San Miguel de Allende's growing population of U.S. retirees.  To read the complete report, or to learn more about MPI's work, click here.
