Equal Opportunities for Older Women

Cover text: "The status in life referred to as "single", or living alone, is evaluated very differently in the public debate: as an attractive mode of living, as a modern alternative to family life, and as a problematic situation associated with social deficits." This report aims at a comprehensive empirically-grounded analysis of the situation of women living alone, and focuses, among other things, on the areas old age, old age insurance, and the need for care in old age.
