| Annotation | The research reported here was undertaken in Kikole (the name is a pseudonym), a village in the Masaka District, and is based on findings from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Programme on AIDS in Uganda since 1989. The book aims to inform the reader on the livelihoods of rural older people in developing countries, and the impact of HIV/AIDS. Chapters also cover: ageing and poverty in developing countries; land tenure and usage; the rural economy; older people's health in Kikole; and elders' social status and relationships. The concluding chapters analyse the elders' attempts to maintain their quality of life and their livelihood security. (RH). |
