Abstract
Drawing on several types of evidence created by the pensions enactment and administration this note studies generational relations and the impact of the Old Age Pension in the years just after its creation [in Ireland in 1908]....The evidence shows that before the old-age pension many aged people received support from children and others often by co-residing with younger people. The pension altered some aspects of household structure both by reinforcing a preexisting tendency to form complex households and by increasing household headship rates for aged women. The pension also redefined the responsibilities of the Irish poor relief system by removing the majority of aged paupers from its care. (EXCERPT)
