Migration has long been employed as a strategy for socioeconomic mobility, with individuals leaving their homes to pursue livelihood opportunities in contexts of constrained resources. Success in migration is often tied to the prime productive years of life, yet a growing number of migrants are now transitioning into old age. This shift raises pressing concerns regarding their capacity to earn a living, access social security, and sustain both self-care and family responsibilities. This study offers a qualitative inquiry into the experiences of older migrants in Gauteng and Chivi South District, Masvingo. Drawing on personal narratives, it examines how ageing intersects with migrant livelihoods, family economies, and the well-being of older persons. While family life in Africa is often shaped by intergenerational circulation of roles and responsibilities, this study highlights how migration alters these dynamics, prompting adaptive mechanisms within families to support older relatives. Using an intersectional lens, the analysis captures the convergence of multiple structural factors—economic, social, and cultural—that shape the vulnerabilities and agency of ageing migrants. Findings reveal that many older migrants struggle to fully integrate into either their host or home communities, reflecting a precarious context that intensifies insecurity in later life.
