Societal Literacy and the Status of the Aged.

Lee, Gary R.; Kezis, Mindy

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v12 n3 p221-34 1980

The relationship of status of the aged to societal literacy in a sample of 122 cultures appears spurious because of effects of variables indexing societal complexity. Conclusions are: societal literacy has no independent effect on status of the aged; and the overall relationship between the two appears curvilinear. (Author)
