The chapter reviews literature on self-realisation among older age migrants. It examines Western culture-influenced ideas about lifestyle and retirement migration projects, body and health as related to concepts of active and successful ageing and neuroculture. It further considers self-realisation through family projects and migration to countries where desirable gender roles can be pursued, work abroad and return migration projects. Finally, the chapter reviews civic participation projects. The chapter argues for more explicit and in-depth attention to civic and political participation, and for concerted efforts to study self-realisation projects in the Global South.
