Romanticizing the Status of the Rural Elderly: Theory and Policy Implications.

DeHaney, William T.

Gerontologist, v27 n3 p321-29 Jun 1987

Measured levels of living among 157 elderly family households in a plantation community. Found the level of living to be determined more by the plantation production system and the elderly's past patterns of economic participation than by the size of the completed family. (Author/ABB)
