Living Arrangements of the Elderly Population in Africa in the Era of HIV/AIDS
African population dynamics are experiencing important shifts with substantial implications for family structure and the vulnerability of dependent populations, especially children, elderly, widows, and disabled in the household. Changing African household structure and living arrangements are likely to have consequences on relationships within the households. The concentration of AIDS deaths in the reproductive age group has significant consequences on the family because most people in this age group are producing and raising young children.
