More Women Than Men Among Nation's Elderly
A Census Bureau profile from the 1970 census shows 11.4 million elderly women versus 8.4 million men over 65, a ratio of 722 men per 1000 women. Projections through 1990 foresee 675 men per 1000 women as female elderly numbers rise faster. The study notes 21 percent growth in elderly population from 1960 to 1970, influenced by birth rates from the late 1800s to 1920s and prewar immigration, with life expectancy increasing from 47.3 years in 1900 to 70.4 years in 1969.
