During times of crisis, including pandemics, climate change, and forced migration, much of the discourse in ageing research and intervention centers on the vulnerabilities of older adults. Unfortunately, the valuable contributions of older adults to post-disaster recovery and healing are often overlooked and undervalued. Our aim in this scoping review is to shed light on the critical contributions of older forced migrants to post-migration recovery. We set the scene by introducing the two significant global demographic changes of the twenty-first century: forced migration and ageing. We provide a discourse on older forced migrants, ageing in situations of forced migration, and some of the challenges faced by older forced migrants. We then present some of the substantial roles of older forced migrants in post-migration recovery, including building resilience, contributing to culture and language transfer, providing emotional support, offering mentorship and leadership, participating in community building, and fostering social integration. We close by highlighting some of the lessons that can be drawn from understanding the unique roles played by older adults in post-forced migration recovery and the key actions necessary to promote these roles.

在流行病、气候变化和强迫移民等危机时期，老龄化研究和干预的大部分讨论都集中在老年人的脆弱性上。不幸的是，老年人对灾后恢复和治疗的宝贵贡献常常被忽视和低估。我们本次范围审查的目的是阐明老年被迫移民对移民后恢复的关键贡献。我们通过介绍二十一世纪两个重大的全球人口变化来介绍场景：强迫移民和老龄化。我们讨论了老年被迫移民、被迫移民情况下的老龄化以及老年被迫移民面临的一些挑战。然后，我们介绍了老年强迫移民在移民后恢复中的一些重要作用，包括建设复原力、促进文化和语言转移、提供情感支持、提供指导和领导、参与社区建设以及促进社会融合。最后，我们强调了一些可以从了解老年人在被迫迁移后恢复中所发挥的独特作用中汲取的经验教训，以及促进这些作用所需的关键行动。
