  • Title: "An empire lost but a province gained": a cohort analysis of British international retirement in the Algarve.
    Author: Williams AM, Patterson G.
    Journal: Int J Popul Geogr; 1998 Jun; 4(2):135-55. PubMed ID: 12348626.
    Abstract:
    "The growth of international retirement in the Algarve has coincided with a number of changes in the international framework for population mobility as well as in the nature of the Algarve [Portugal] as a destination area. Tourism development, which is intimately linked to subsequent retirement migration, is particularly important in this. This paper considers the nature of the link between cycles of migration and of development in recipient areas, in the context of the remarkable and relatively late development of the Algarve as an area of tourism and retirement.... Cohort analysis...provides the basis for an examination of changes over time in the socio-demographic profiles of the migrants, their motivations, their residential patterns and their integration."
