Abstract

Poverty is one of the most distinctive features of old age in Britain. At least half the population aged over 65 live in, or on the margins of, poverty. Old age is also characterized by a decrease in functional capacity and an increase in use of statutory social and health services. However the inter-links between poverty, disability and use of services have not been well researched. In this paper we examine these inter-relationship using data derived from the 1980 General Household Survey.
