The Future Marital Status and Living Arrangements of the Elderly.

Glick, Paul C.

Gerontologist, v19 n3 p301-09 Jun 1979

The "old-old" (80+), needing the most health and domiciliary care, will increase twice as fast by the year 2000 as the "young-old" (65-79). Half of the elderly women in 2000 may be maintaining a home apart from relatives. Few elderly persons now live with unrelated adults of the opposite sex. (Author)
