International Social Security Review, 1999, vol. 52, issue 3, 107-124

Abstract: This paper compares the well‐being of the elderly populations in 14 highly industrialized countries. It is based on empirical data gathered by the Luxembourg Income Study referring to years around 1990. It shows that the positions of persons in pensioner households compared with persons in non‐pensioner households differ widely. In some countries there are also great differences between male and female pensioners, between age cohorts, and between the poverty ratios of the elderly population.
