Abstract

This paper analyses that homeless women over the age of 55 are a product of a modern institutionalised life that is highly segmented and individualised. Life course theory forms the foundation of discussion for exploring understanding of this phenomenon. This paper acknowledges that life always takes place within a bounded agency that is subject to the social conditions of that time
