| Annotation | Using data from several longitudinal surveys, this paper investigates the relationship between older women's family histories and their personal incomes in later life in the UK, US and West Germany. By comparing three countries with very different welfare regimes, the authors sought to gain a batter understanding of the interaction between the life course, pension system and women;s incomes in later life. They conclude with a brief discussion of the "women-friendliness" of different pension regimes in the light of their analysis. (RH). |
