Abstract

Doña Barbara never had a chance to save for old age. She and her husband are subsistence farmers living in the high plains of Bolivia. Doña Barbara is entitled to a small annual pension, but she has no birth certificate, so has not been able to make a claim. Doña Barbara and her husband have stomach pains because of their poor diet. Health is a constant worry. They are entitled to free healthcare but there are no doctors within reach. Their daughters help when they can, but they live far away from them (HelpAge International 2006).
