WOMEN OUTLIVING MARRIAGE IN TURKEY: SINGLE HOUSEHOLDERS vs. DEPENDENT RELATIVES
Öz
The 2011 Turkish Survey on Family Structure found that about 40 percent of all women over 65 in Turkey still lived with a husband, about 30 percent lived as single householders, and about 30 percent lived as dependents with other relatives. An exploratory summary of these three groups compares residential density, household amenities and income, health insurance coverage and a subjective measure of happiness. Models of these outcomes control for age, education and lifetime residential mobility as well as household status. Such comparisons suggest that traditional kin-based and/or state- and market-based financial and in-kind supports for living arrangements, health care and life satisfaction of these vulnerable population groups are keeping up with the challenges of an aging population.
