The understanding of widowhood evolution over time and distribution among population subgroups is crucial as widowhood burden can crucially shape societal structures and support systems

At the same time, the societal impact of widowhood, including the caregiving burden from the family and the state, may also decrease in response to this

Our study provide some positive results of a decreased and delayed risk of widowhood, suggesting that individuals may benefit from reduced exposure to widowhood and its associated health, social, and financial challenges

In terms of gender differences, women have higher widowhood risk, expectancy, and a lower mean age at widowhood than men. While in terms of educational differences, low-educated have lower mean age at widowhood for both genders and, for women, also higher risk and duration

We found that, over the past 30 years, individuals are less likely to experience widowhood compared to the past, and when they do, widowhood occurs at older ages. The widowhood expectancy (or average duration of widowhood) declined over time for women and remained stable for men

Thanks Xu, missing you all already!

Thanks for sharing!
