Abstract

This article presents the results of qualitative research on the work of individuals and the coordination of support in old age, within the framework of the sociology of the individual. Interviews with autonomous older women from low-income sectors of Santiago de Chile showed that health is one of the dimensions posing the greatest challenge for them, which demands permanent efforts on their part and the constant coordination of support. The main forms of support identified are relational, public institutions and the use of medication, coupled with constant care and monitoring of themselves.

Agradecimientos

Agradecimiento
The London research was supported 1975-85 by the UK Economic and Social Research Council, first in the Research Unit for Ethnic Relations at the University of Bristol, and then in the Resource Options Unit at the London School of Economics. The work in Kampala was supported by a research grant from the Overseas Development Administration (UK), covering November 1992 through October 1994. The views expressed in this article are the responsibility of the author, not of the sponsoring agency. I want also to acknowledge the role of the implementing institutions (in Uganda, the Child Health Development Centre/CHDC, Makerere University, Kampala; and in the UK, the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in the University of Hull), and of the many individuals directly involved in the project, - specifically here, in the items which make up Section V, of my colleagues Jessica Ogden and Valdo Pons.
