| Annotation | Rural population ageing in developing countries remains inadequately documented and poorly understood. This is a revised version of a paper presented at the the First International Conference on Rural Aging, in June 2000 at Charleston, West Virginia. It argues that agriculture censuses can be a valuable tool for analysing rural ageing and its linkages with agriculture. Based on information from selected national agriculture censuses taken from 1986 to 1996, examples are presented of ageing-related topics that can be studied using such data: overall levels of ageing among people attached to agricultural holdings; and associations between the age structure of agriculture holders and particular techno-economic characteristics of holdings.
