Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the relationships among participation in welfare programs, gender and change in social support in adults aged 65 and older. The findings reveal that during the 7-year study, older men in receipt of welfare benefits compared with older women on welfare received less social support from other and were more dissatisfied with the assistance they got.
