However, there is ample evidence that the economic status of women over 65 is grad ually improving, according to the Institute of Life Insurance. Figures based on Bureau of the Census reports indicate that some 1V2 million aged women have no regular income of then own. This includes widowed and single women who make up about one-third of the 4V2 mil lion "non-married" women over 6o. By contrast, only eight per cent of elderly men are without money income. The contrast in means be tween older men and women with some regular income is just as striking.. The . typical in come of women over 65 is some thing more than $650 a year, but men over 65 receive nearly $1250 annually. Well over 13 million persons today are over the age of 65. They include 4 million married couples with at least one partner over 65; about 2 million men, mostly widowers; and the 4Vi million women mentioned. These add up to what can be called 1014 million "family units." Less than one-quarter of these family units have no regular income. Although older persons prob ably prefer to live independent ly, surprisingly enough one out of three without regular income live in their own households. Most of the others live with relatives or board elsewhere, and about 10 per cent are in in stitutions. It may be true that a person can manage with less income as he grows older and his family responsibilities have decreased. Nevertheless an individual of any age does need some cash income, except of course in the relatively rare instance where he can draw on his capital. The alternative which many elder ly people are forced to adopt is to borrow money, perhaps by mortgaging a home, to raise some of. the food needed (feasi ble on a farm) or to ask others for help, never a pleasant experi ence. But the picture of the future is definitely brighter. Many younger people living today will reach their 65th birthdays with far greater assurance of having regular incomes than did their parents. Social security promises an income to those who are cov ered. Moreover, the vast growth of annuities, pension plans in sured by life insurance com panies, other pension plans,' and life insurance itself are con tributing substantially to pres ent and future retirement in come.
