Rural Elderly in Demographic Perspective

Abstract

Living conditions of most of the rural elderly are now roughly comparable with those of the urban elderly. The two major differences remaining are in income and health. The proportion of elderly living in poverty is more than half again as great in rural areas as in cities. And, paradoxically, while the rural elderly require more hospitalization and medical care, they have become concentrated in many rural areas poorly equipped to serve their special medical and other needs.
