Peer reviewedWolf, Douglas A. – Gerontologist, 1995
Analyzes trends in the percentage of older women living alone in 21 European and North American countries over the period 1960-92. The trend toward substantial increases in the percentage in elderly women living alone is shown to result mainly from demographic changes, with little evidence of a role for economic variables. (JPS)
