Uses nationally representative data from the General Household Survey for 1980 to investigate the household structure of the elderly in Britain. Household structure is analysed in terms of its relationship to the marital status, age, gender, and physical disability of the elderly person. 79% of the elderly live alone or with their spouse only. As many as 95% of all the elderly in non-institutional accommodation retain their own households - of the rest, the majority move to live with married children, most usually daughters.
