Polygamy and the Elderly in Senegal - 2015.


68

Polygamy is still very much present in Senegal, especially among the elderly. In this paper we assess the evolution of polygamy and analyze the different residential forms it takes. We then analyze the implications of these different living arrangements and the services that the family and the entourage provide for the elderly. Polygamy increases potential support for older men by their wives, while women mostly rely on the help of their adult children.
