In the context of China's aging and family-oriented migration, the elderly migrants have formed a group that needs a special academic attention. Their daily activities, especially, the social interaction and the health behaviors, are important aspects that affect their physical and mental health. Based on a literature review, the elderly migration may be divided into three types:the migration for work, the migration for leisure and vocation, and the migration for children. The influence framework of different types of the elderly migrants is obtained based on their daily activities. Measures are proposed to cope with various challenges, for example, differentiating the management for different types of the elderly, optimizing their daily mobility and shaping a friendly activity environment.
