Retirement is a complex undertaking that is influenced by many factors. The variables influence the retirement experience either alone or in combination. Because the factors are intertwined, it is sometimes difficult to determine which are the most significant. The complex nature of retirement often leads to people being under prepared for the challenges they are likely to confront. Despite the importance of the retirement enterprise, there has been little research on the subject among black retirees in South Africa. This is especially true when it comes to the case of retired migrant workers. The purpose of the present study is to explore the experience of life satisfaction during retirement and adjustment to retirement of migrant workers when they return back to their communities of origin in the Eastern Cape Region, South Africa. Research participants for the study were retired persons (N=54) who were selected through snowball sampling method. The data for the study was collected using a Biographical Questionnaire, the Life Satisfaction Index-A, Adjustment Scale and Open-ended Interview Questions. Retired non-migrant workers were also included in the study in order to determine whether there are differences on these measures compared to retired migrant workers. The results of the study indicated that: retired migrant workers had significantly lower levels of life satisfaction and encountered more adjustment problems in retirement than retired non-migrant workers; retired migrant workers had less choice in their decision to retire than retired non-migrant workers; retired migrant workers did not participate in sufficient financial planning for their retirement; and financial situation significantly affects adjustment to retirement and life satisfaction during retirement. / Psychology / D.

y8803 在全球化發展下，各國人民、資金、原料和貨物的跨境流動，見頻仍。菲律賓與香港的經濟發展存在龐大差異，很多菲律賓婦女因而來港當家庭傭工。近二十年來，外來家傭的處境引起學術關注，但她們的同性戀生活，却鮮為人深入探究。本研究通過對兩個在港菲傭團體的參與觀察、及十位女同性戀菲傭的深入訪談，探求她們的同性戀生活，與其於兩地的社會地位，以及菲律賓的性／別觀念，有何關連。由於具備獨立經濟能力，菲傭在原生家庭地位提昇，家人亦難以越洋監視其生活。在香港，個人自由受法律保護；而菲傭無法融入社會，也讓她們有更大戀愛自由。本民族誌學研究，肯定了移徒的釋放力量，能幫助開啟性向和性別的可能：一些菲傭不單在香港首次實踐女女愛，更首度以陽剛氣質示人。但菲律賓人普遍相信性別身份不變，故菲傭的性別身份逆轉，較其性向的改變，更難為菲律賓社群接受。本論文並紀錄了同性戀菲傭的男／女性別氣質表現：同性戀菲傭雖多扮演男／女性別角色，但兩個性別氣質的展現，往往較為平衡。本研究遂否定陽剛／陰柔氣質、以及同性戀／異性戀之間，有二元對立式的劃分。 / Globalization has seen the acceleration of migration and movement across national borders. Prompted by a gap in the economic development between the two places, many Filipinas move from their homeland to Hong Kong to work as Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs). Academic attention on their lives has flourished over the last two decades. However, the lesbian practice of FDWs remains under-investigated. Through participant observation of two Filipina FDW groups and in-depth interviews of ten Filipina lesbian domestic workers in Hong Kong, the current research investigates how their lesbian practices intricately relate to their social position in the Philippines and in Hong Kong, as well as the Filipino concept of gender and sexuality. As independent wage workers, these Filipinas enjoy elevated status at home while familial control decreases with distance. In the work destination, which offers better protection towards personal autonomy, the level of societal surveillance they face is further limited with their non-integration into the host society. Hence, their positions at both societies help shield them from tight social control, allowing them to practice homosexuality with relative ease. / This ethnographic study thus affirms the liberating effects of migration for opening up new sexual / gender possibilities: as well as engaging in same-sex relationships for the first time, some of these Filipina FDWs assume masculine identities only after coming to Hong Kong. Yet, the assumption of new gender identity runs contrary to the Filipino concept of gender, which privileges on a persistent inner self. Novice tomboys, therefore, often suffer much from social stigma as the change in gender identity is even more inexplicable to the Filipinas than a change in sexual orientation. / This current research meanwhile documents the performances of masculinity and femininity by these lesbian Filipina FDWs. While observing the significance of gender role-playing in Filipina lesbian relationships, this thesis highlights the presence of a more balanced mix of masculinities and femininities in both butches and femmes. Findings of the present study thus repudiate the dichotomous divides between masculinity and femininity; heterosexuality and homosexuality. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Lee, Yuk Yin. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 146-152). / Electronic reproduction.
