Abstract: Abstract This and the following chapter move the emphasis away from the macro or national level to patterns of elderly income maintenance in specific neighbourhoods. Rather than treating these neighbourhoods in isolation, reference is made to the institutional structures outlined above. Whilst studies of macro-structures are clearly incomplete unless consideration is given to their effects at the local level, little sense can be made of micro-surveys if they are not placed within a broader context.
