| Abstract: | The 1995 Survey of the Elderly in Taiwan was designed to provide benchmark data on the social, economic and physical well-being of the elderly aged 60+ in Taiwan. The questionnaire contains eight distinct sections: marital history and other background characteristics household schedule, social and economic exchanges health, health care utilization and behavior occupational history activities and general economic/financial well-being and emotional and instrumental support. The 1995 Taiwan Survey builds on earlier surveys of the elderly conducted in several ASEAN countries in the mid-1980's and 1990's. Further information on this survey is available in the documentation where a copy of "1989 Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan: Questionnaire and Survey Design" is available. A comparison of variables available for Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore is given in a reference paper prepared by Mary Bethh Ofstedal titled Comparative Study of Aging in Four Asian Countries: A Variable Reference for Microanalysis. |
