Ageing
Clearinghouse Connector - November 2008
This edition of the Clearinghouse Connector provides electronic links to resources that highlight a number of the social, economic and biological changes women confront as they age.
While men and women share a number of changes associated with ageing, women are less financially independent, more likely to be living alone and facing added challenges that are unique to their gender and biology.
To find out more about these resources follow the hyperlink and choose Full Display. The full display includes a link to the external website where the full text is available.
