Old and Single in the City and in the Country: Activities of the Unmarried.

Keith, Pat M.; Nauta, Andre

Family Relations, v37 n1 p79-83 Jan 1988

Interviewed 1,496 urban and 553 rural older adults to examine how older unmarried persons spent time in formal, informal, and leisure activities. Found that urban women manifested most diverse social relationships and activities and rural men manifested the least. Data suggest that educational and intervention efforts should not ignore place of residence and gender. (Author/NB)
