In order to meet the workforce needs of their European countries, in the 1950s and 1960s, the default immigrants who came as "host workers" and would return to their countries were initially perceived positively, but they were defined as a "problem" when they began to age by settling in the countries they migrated after leaving their work life. This is due to the social and economic burden of the services provided to the elderly population. This study aims to address the problems of older immigrants in France. France’s 21,8% of the elderly immigrant population is above the European average, 14.8%. Elderly migrants face many problems depending on structural and individual factors. These problems have been addressed by addressing inequalities in terms of membership, socio-economic status, health, access to care services and health outcomes. These problems result in the isolation of immigrants from the society economically and socially. Immigrant workers are exposed to difficult working conditions throughout their working life, and they have worse outcomes of health, leading to their health in early age. In contrast, they are in disadvantage in access to health and care services. The point highlighted throughout the study is the fact that these problems can be understood from a comprehensive perspective. In the result section, in the solution of these problems, the necessity of acceptance of the immigrant existence in the sense of social rights and in this context, the arrangements necessary for the elderly immigrants to live in harmony with society.
