- 🆕New preprint of our study on widowhood! "Evolution of widowhood lifespan and its gender and educational inequalities in Finland over three decades" osf.io/preprints/so... in @socarxiv.bsky.social Joint work with K. Korhonen, @alysonvanraalte.bsky.social , @timriffe1.bsky.social and P. Martikainen
- We found that, over the past 30 years, individuals are less likely to experience widowhood compared to the past, and when they do, widowhood occurs at older ages. The widowhood expectancy (or average duration of widowhood) declined over time for women and remained stable for men
- In terms of gender differences, women have higher widowhood risk, expectancy, and a lower mean age at widowhood than men. While in terms of educational differences, low-educated have lower mean age at widowhood for both genders and, for women, also higher risk and duration
-
View full threadThe understanding of widowhood evolution over time and distribution among population subgroups is crucial as widowhood burden can crucially shape societal structures and support systems
