Abstract: Contemporary societies are in the midst of major demographic changes, such as the aging of populations. According to CEPAL, Latin America and the Caribbean will have an increase of 57 million older people between 2000 and 2025. This is the beginning of the old age of the generations that were born in the first half of the 20th century. One of the consequences of the aging of the population is the change in the residential arrangements of 1he elder1y. Their homes in Colombia diversified during the 20th century. Although the extended family is still common, since the 1970s the country has seen an accelerated increase in the number of elderly people living alone and as a couple exclusively. The research explains the changes observed in the homes of the elderly between 1973 and 2005, in Colombia. The methodology combines statistical, historiographic and qualitative sources. These are the 1973 and 2005 censuses, historiographical and institutional documents, and interviews with public officials and academic researchers. The results are presented from different logistic regression models, the reconstruction of the historical contexts of the generations that were born between 1874 and 1945, and the analysis of the current conditions of public institutions for the elderly population.
