Half Of Women Over 65 Are Widows
Life is made up of changes.
One sad change faced by many
North Carolina women is that
of widowhood, says Dr. Leo
Hawkins, extension human
development specialist. North
Carolina State University.
Fifty percent of all 65-year-
old women across the nation
are widows. Only nine percent
of men between the ages of 65
or 75 are widowed, but 23 per
cent of men over 75 have lost
their spouse. Women are
much more likely to be the sur
viving spouse because men
have a higher death rate at all
ages and often marry a woman
who is younger.
A research survey of widows
aged 34 to 74 revealed that.
regardless of age, two-thirds
of the women “had never con
sidered the possibility of
becoming a widow.” As a
result there are thousands of
widows who have to struggle
with many economic decisions
