Population ageing in a selected region of Bangladesh: socio-economic and health perspectives.
"This paper is an attempt to examine the socio-economic-demographic characteristics and health status of the aged (60 years and above) in rural Bangladesh.... About 87 percent of males are currently married as against only half of the females.  On the contrary, a large proportion (50 percent) of females are widowed while only 12 percent are widowers.  The educational status of males is much better than that of females.... About half of the females are found unemployed as against only one-third of males.  As regards the annual income, the condition of Hindus is better than that of Muslims.  The majority of the older people are living in large households of more than five members."
