Older women and transport issues in sub-Saharan Africa
Porter, G
Authors
Abstract
Knowledge of the links between transport, mobility and poor people’s livelihoods and wellbeing in Africa is remarkably sparse. Yet older people form a substantial and key component of African populations, not least in the era of HIV/AIDS. In many countries this has left grandparents supporting and caring for grandchildren in the context of a missing or incapacitated middle generation due to parental deaths and ill health.
