Abstract:
Using data from several large scale longitudinal surveys, this paper investigates the relationship between older women s families histories and their personal incomes in later life in the UK, US and West Germany, By comparing three countries with very different welfare regimes, we seek to gain a better understanding of the interaction between the life course, pension system and women s incomes in later life. We conclude with a brief discussion of the ?women-friendliness of different pension regimes in the light of our analysis.
Key words: comparative; older women; pensions; work history; life course.
