This paper analyses the influence of relevant variables (age, sex, marital status, health, income, education and children) on the risk of belonging to one of the four main types of household in which old European people live nowadays: alone, with partner, with others, in a collective household. Nine countries with different social and political contexts are compared by using different data sources. These socio-demographic characteristics play the same role in all countries except for the influence of childlessness and of gender, but the geographical heterogeneity of the living arrangements remains partly unexplained due to currently inadequate comparative data sources for Europe.Cet article analyse 1’influence de facteurs socio-démographiques (âge, sexe, statut matrimonial, santé, revenu, niveau d’instruction, présence d’enfants) sur la probabilité d’appartenir à l’un des quatre types de ménage dans lesquels vivent les personnes âgées en Europe: seul, avec un partenaire, avec d’autres personnes, dans une institution. Neuf pays avec différents contextes sociaux et politiques sont comparés à 1’aide de diverses sources de données. Les caractéristiques socio-démographiques jouent le même rôle dans tous les pays, mis à part 1’influence du fait d’être sans enfant et du genre, mais 1’hétérogénéité géographique des types de ménages reste partiellement inexpliquée en raison de problèmes de comparabilité des sources de données en Europe.

... As a result, countries with ageing populations generally have a sex ratio in favour of women. Delbès et al. (2006) summed it up well about Europe when they wrote that "women grow old alone, but men grow old with a partner". ...

... Si l'on s'intéresse à l'entourage familial, les projections réalisées en Europe vont plutôt à l'encontre des idées reçues. À moyen terme en Europe, les personnes âgées en perte d'autonomie bénéficieront d'un entourage familial plus étoffé qu'aujourd'hui (Gaymu et al., 2008b). Froment et ses collègues en France (2013) et Carrière et al. (2008 au Canada aboutissent à des conclusions similaires. ...

... Knowledge of trends in solo living is thus based above all, through complementarity, on cross-sectional observation, from one census to the next, of the age distribution of people living with a partner (Lefranc, 1995;Arbouville and Bonvalet, 2003;Daguet and Niel, 2010;Toulemon, 2012;INSEE, 2015). In France as elsewhere, the literature also provides only a partial and fragmented vision of the determinants of solo living via analyses of the factors associated with living in a one-person household (Gaymu et al., 2006;Schwanitz and Mulder, 2015;Sandström and Karlsso, 2019), being the head of a lone-parent family (Le Pape et al., 2015;Steinbach et al., 2016;Algava et al., 2021), or having never lived with a partner until a late age (Van den Berg and Verbakel, 2021). ...
