摘要：
This article focuses on elderly Vietnamese immigrants in Finland and on the ethnic neighbourhood as a spatial field of empowerment for this group. Within stable social circles, diverse and overlapping patterns of interaction give rise to so-called multiplex relations, which are seen to strengthen in a special way the bonds between the elderly immigrants and their social circles, and to be a decisive factor in reducing the risk of loneliness. The ethnic neighbourhood offers the opportunity for intermeshing relations that are an important source of security for the elderly.
