Book Description
The first book to study women's poverty over the life course, this outstanding collection compares the economic condition of single mothers and single elderly women--while also considering partnered women and immigrants--in eight wealthy but diverse countries. By identifying the social and economic policies that enable women to live independently, Poor Women in Rich Countries provides nothing less than a blueprint for abolishing women's poverty.
