title: Cross-cultural perspectives on widowhood.
abstract: Widowhood causes four problems: how to replace the functions of the dead spouse and those of the dead parent? who should inherit the property of the dead spouse/ parent? and, where should the surviving family live? Typical solutions to these problems are related to demographic characteristics of developing and developed countries.
