111 Female veterans
ain grow in number
The number of female veterans
continues to grow slowly but stead-
ily according to a report published
by the Veterans Administration’s
Office of Reports and Statistics.
Women veterans living in the
United States and Puerto Rico as of
March 31, 1983 were estimated at
1,150,000 or 4.1 percent of all living
veterans. The total was about 39,000
or 3.5 percent, higher than the 1980
Census figure, an increase which
represents an upward trend not
characteristic of the male veteran
population.
Administrator of Veterans Affairs
Harry N. Walters pointed out that
as the number of female veterans
grows, and as more and more move
into the older age groups, their
needs will increase correspondingly.
“The special problems confront-
ing these women and the VA’s
- response to their particular needs
will be better addressed as detailed
demographic data becomes availa-
ble,” Walters said. ‘‘This compre-
hensive profile of the female vet-
eran population will assist all those
involved in the planning for future
demands,” he added.
Last year Walters appointed an
18-member Advisory Committee on
Female Veterans' to assist him in
addressing the needs of this group
of veterans.
The 1980 Census marked the ini-
tial time that detailed information
on female veterans had ever been
gathered. The data represent an
extremely valuable set of baseline
statistics from which future projec-
tions have been prepared.
Other findings in the study
include: :
Thirty-six percent of female vet-
erans served during peacetime only.
