Abstract

Philip L. J. and Gilbert A. (2007) Low income amongst the older population in Great Britain: a rural/non-rural perspective on income levels and dynamics, Regional Studies 41, 735-745. Great Britain's population is ageing. Income levels are an important element of quality of life in retirement. This paper utilizes income data from the British Household Panel Survey to explore income levels and dynamics amongst older people living in non-rural, accessible rural and remote rural areas. Analysis shows clear geographical variations. Average household incomes of the over 65s in remote rural areas are less than those of their non-rural and accessible rural counterparts, and older people living in remote rural areas are the most likely to experience persistent low income. Philip L. J. et Gilbert A. (2007) Le faible revenu parmi les personnes plus agees en Grande-Bretagne: un apercu rural/non-rural sur les niveaux et la dynamique de revenu, Regional Studies 41, 735-745. La population de la Grande-Bretagne vieillit. Le niveau de revenu constitue un element cle de la qualite de la vie au moment de la retraite. Cet article se sert des donnees sur les revenus qui proviennent de la British Household Panel Survey (enquete permanente menee en Grande-Bretagne aupres des menages) afin d'examiner le niveau et la dynamique de revenu parmi les personnes plus agees habitant les zones non-rurales, les zones rurales accessibles et les zones rurales isolees. L'analyse laisse voir des variations geographiques nettes. Dans les zones rurales isolees, le revenu menager moyen des personnes agees de plus de 65 ans s'avere inferieur a celui de leurs homologues habitant les zones non-rurales et les zones rurales accessibles, et il est le plus probable que les personnes plus agees habitant les zones rurales isolees touchent regulierement un faible revenu. Grande-Bretagne Personnes plus agees Faible revenu Rural/non-rural Variations Dynamique de revenu Philip L. J. und Gilbert A. (2007) Geringes Einkommen unter Senioren in Grossbritannien: eine landliche/nicht landliche Perspektive der Einkommensniveaus und Dynamik, Regional Studies 41, 735-745. Grossbritanniens Bevolkerung altert. Das Einkommensniveau ist ein wichtiges Element der Lebensqualitat im Rentenalter. In diesem Beitrag werden anhand von Daten des British Household Panel Survey Einkommensniveaus und Dynamik von Senioren untersucht, die in nicht landlichen Gebieten, in landlichen Gebieten mit Verkehrsanbindung sowie in abgelegenen landlichen Gebieten wohnen. Bei unserer Analyse ergeben sich klare geografische Abweichungen. Das durchschnittliche Haushaltseinkommen der uber 65-Jahrigen in abgelegenen landlichen Gebieten liegt unter dem der Menschen in nicht landlichen Gebieten und in landlichen Gebieten mit Verkehrsanbindung; ebenso ist bei Senioren in abgelegenen landlichen Gebieten die Wahrscheinlichkeit am hochsten, dass sie kontinuierlich ein geringes Einkommen beziehen.

(2007) Ingresos bajos entre la poblacion anciana de Gran Bretana: comparacion de niveles y dinamicas de ingresos en zonas rurales y no rurales, Regional Studies 41, 735-745. La poblacion de Gran Bretana esta envejeciendo. Los niveles de ingresos constituyen un elemento importante para la calidad de vida en la jubilacion. En este ensayo utilizamos los datos de ingresos a partir de los datos del panel britanico BHPS (British Household Panel Survey) para analizar los niveles y las dinamicas de ingresos entre la poblacion anciana que vive en zonas no rurales, en zonas rurales accesibles y en regiones rurales remotas. Nuestro analisis indica claras variaciones geograficas. Los ingresos medios por familia de personas mayores de 65 anos en zonas rurales remotas son menores que los de las personas que viven en zonas no rurales y zonas rurales accesibles y la gente mayor que vive en zonas rurales remotas tiene mas probabilidades de recibir continuamente bajos ingresos.
