Trends in Income and Wealth of the Elderly in the 1980's
Working Paper Number: SEHSD-WP1991-02 or SIPP-WP-141
Because not everyone benefited from the prosperity of the 1980’s, it is of interest to find out how the elderly, or persons age 65 and over, fared in these years. After all, unlike the nonelderly most of the elderly are retired and are somewhat removed from the day-to-day workings of the economy. Did they share in the general rise in economic well-being or were they left behind?
