title: [Determinants of the socioeconomic status of the aged in Ewe in Togo].
abstract: This investigation of the Ewe tribe in Togo tries to analyse the determining factors of the living conditions of the elderly in the rural areas. The migration from these areas into the cities is not clearly responsible for the economic situation of the old people. Rather, connected with supposed social problem are the negative image of the old and the education gap between the generations. The declining status is perceived by analysing shifts in the system of village government, which is a province of the old men. The structure of the decision-making system is described in the text.
