<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>IPUMS:</strong><br> The number of persons age 70 or older living alone in private households divided by the total population age 70 or older living in private households. One-person households are identified using the IPUMS PERSONS variable, which reports the number of person records included in the household. This indicator is calculated for private households only.<br></p>

<p><u><strong>Comments</strong></u><br>
<strong>IPUMS:</strong> Individuals are not organized into households in the following samples, which are excluded from this indicator: Canada 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001, Chile 1960, Colombia 1964, Costa Rica 1963, Dominican Republic 1960, 1970, Ecuador 1962, Germany 1970, Honduras 1961, Kenya 1979, Liberia 1974, Mexico 1960, Netherlands 1960, 1971, 2001, 2011, Pakistan 1981, Spain 1981, and United Kingdom 2001. Family interrelationship variables are not available in the samples previously listed as well as these samples, which are excluded from this indicator: Argentina 2010, Austria 2011, Ghana 1984, Poland 2011, Trinidad and Tobago 1990, and Ukraine 2001. Spain 2011 includes empirical parental pointers, but does not include a variable for relationship to household head, such that IPUMS was unable to create MOMLOC, POPLOC, STEPPOP, and STEPMOM variables with the standard algorithm. Instead, MOMLOC and POPLOC correspond to the empirical parental pointers.<br></p> |
