dc.description.abstractThis study examines how the economic conditions for the elderly have changed during the past decade in the Capital Regional District of B.C. The elderly in 1971 are compared to the elderly in 1981. The elderly are also compared with the younger 45-64 year old group to determine how the economic status of the elderly compares with a younger population. The data for this study have been obtained from the Statistics Canada 1971 and 1981 census data base. The results indicate that while the economic standing of the elderly as a group remained relatively stable over the period 1971-1981, the income level of those elderly who rented their home decreased.
