Description:	The consequences for the social security system of the process of the ageing population have been studied extensively in many industrialized countries in recent years. However, these studies have concentrated mostly on the changing age structure of these societies, but have given almost no attention to changes in living arrangements of the elderly, although they form an important aspect of the ageing process. This volume reports the findings of an international comparative study on ageing and changes in living arrangements in twelve industrialized countries, and their possible impact on future socia! security spending. Regarding living arrangements, the focus has been on marital status, but we have also given some attention to family dynamics and developments in household structures. The first plans for this study were developed in 1987 by Nico Keilman of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) and Henk Heeren in the Netherlands, and Douglas Wolf of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (nASA) in Laxenburg, Austria. In subsequent years, Jean-Pierre Gonnot and Christopher Prinz were able to work on the project at nASA, with partial support from the Sloan Foundation and the Netherlands Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment. The last calculations were done in 1992, and many results have been reported in aseries of working papers distributed by nASA. A complete list is contained in the appendix to this volume. This book constitutes the completion of the project.
