Outline of Final Research Achievements

An advanced age solo woman's poverty rate is high, and, as for it, the situation of social security and the method of work have influenced. I carried out the hearing of the life history for whether the I became why.
As a result, the life design of its own advanced age was not made, but the solo woman who was a single mother once was engaging in child-rearing by giving priority over a child-rearing term. The woman without a child also regarded the life shorter-term than a long-term life as important. Moreover, it became clear from the example that it was deficient in knowledge about the pension system. Furthermore, there was also an example which had the subscription to a pension system from the family of a husband or a husband controlled.
