Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Cultures
Adults aged 60 years or more represent about 6 percent of Arab populations in northern Africa and 7 percent in western Asia (UN 2002). By 2050, these percentages should reach 20 and 16, respectively (UN 2002). Women’s increasing advantage in longevity in most Arab countries also means that a
growing percentage of older adults are women (UN 2002). Perceptions of Arab women as they age, their status in society, and their familial authority
and power vary, however. One assertion among ethnographers is that women acquire increasing status in their communities and increasing familial
authority and power as they accrue important markers of gender identity over the life course, including marriage, motherhood, and the marriage
of sons and daughters (Mernissi 1987, Morsy 1990, 1993, Rugh 1984, Singerman and Hoodfar 1996)
