摘要

本文概述了19世纪至今美国老年人的贫困和向下流动问题。作者利用对济贫院(也被称为贫困农场、济贫院、济贫院，以及后来的县民宿和医院)历史的研究，描述了许多老年人面临贫困、家庭疏远、个人损失和医疗问题的处境。为了给我们的过去和现在的情况提供一个简短的比较，瓦格纳总结了一组关于21世纪老年人的统计数据，包括低收入、低退休储蓄和缺乏足够的医疗保健，这表明虽然有一些改善，但总的来说，大多数老年人面临着与我们的前辈相同和类似的严重问题。

Age and Downward Mobility: From the Poorhouse to the Present

ABSTRACT This article provides an overview of the problem of poverty and downward mobility for the elderly in the United States from the 19th Century to today. Using the author’s research with the history of poorhouses (also known as poor farms, workhouses, almshouses, and later county homes and hospitals) he describes the situation of many older people as they faced poverty, family estrangement, personal loss, and medical problems. Looking to provide a brief comparison to our past and current situation, Wagner summarizes a set of statistics about the elderly in the 21st century including low income, low savings for retirement, and lack of adequate health care to suggest that while there have been a few improvements, on the whole a majority of elderly people face the same and similar serious issues as did our forerunners.
