Disparity of Life Expectancy vs Women’s Poverty: A Sociological Appraisal

Abstract

Sociology of population analyzes all parts and dimensions of population in a comparative manner. In that, life expectancy disparity is reflected too. Because of life span differences of men and women, women especially in developing countries face more problems and other poverty-related issues. Shortage/lack of income as an effective factor leads to many economic and health issues for the women with special reference to the developing countries where many elderly people are deprived of insurance, pensions etc. Instead, gender biases seem to reflect in various instances.
