Older Canadian Homeowners

Three approaches have been taken in preparing the literature review. First, a computer search of Canadian bibliographic material was conducted on the aged. Our second approach was to send letters (see Appendix A) to various municipal, provincial and community-based social and housing agencies to obtain relevant unpublished reports. Finally, material from Statistics Canada was utilized. Unfortunately, statistics concerning housing types, location of elderly within an urban setting, and occupation and employment patterns are not as readily available as for other age groups.
