Abstract:
"As in other developed countries, the number of elderly people is growing rapidly in the Netherlands.... Compared to younger people, little is known about household formation of the elderly people. Almost two thirds [are] still part of a family (with spouse and/or children). One third live alone. Only about 4.5% of the elderly people cohabit with other people (for instance relatives)....

It also shows that the health of people with a high level of education is better than the health of those with little education." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
