Synopsis
Excerpt from When Parents Grow Old
Along with this experience of rejection, most old people suffer a sharp reduction of income; some have no income at all. The last, census showed that, whereas men 55 to 64 years old had a medianincome of those 65 and over had a median income of only $986. Despite the expansion of Social Security and higher benefits, social insurance and pensions alone are rarely sufficient for an ade quate standard of living, and savings, if any, may be wiped out by severe or prolonged illness. More than one-sixth of those 65 and over are believed to be supported by children or other relatives. There are no longer many large family homesteads with warm chimney corners for the old folks, and little household tasks for their hands. Living space has shrunk, and much domestic work is now sent out or mechanized. The high cost of housing makes it hard for even well-to-do families to arrange suitable care for a parent who is getting old. Few with such a parent escape diffities alto gether, whether with finances, housing, health, or personalities. Perhaps you have no such problem now. Some day you may have.
