Linking Ageing to Development Agendas in Sub-Saharan Africa
The differential impact of social-pension income on household poverty alleviation in three South African ethnic groups
Social pension programmes play a key role in old-age support systems through their ability to reach vulnerable older persons.

An alternative methodological approach for studies in family planning
An alternative to the methodological approach traditionally used in studies on family-planning practices was developed and applied in a retrospective investigation of the decision making of a sample of women regarding their adoption of contraceptive sterilization. The approach is based on the premise of an interparadigmatic overlap and makes provision for integrating analytical levels and employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative re…
Medicinal use of indigenous plants by elderly Coloureds
This is a study of the adaptive significance of behaviour that involves the medicinal use of indigenous plants and the adaptive potential of a non-Western medical system, in response to environmental stressors. The stressors are seen as disease and perceived structural and cultural barriers to the utilization of modern health-care services. The adaptive significance of the behaviour is related to the perceived and presumed efficacy of certain phy…

According to these authors, older people tend to give more favourable responses to questions on certain life circumstances, possibly through psychological defence, than would seem warranted by objective conditions. A qualitative study was conducted on a new sam…
