Late in the nineteenth century, a number of Ontario county governments financed and built social welfare institutions. Essentially modelled after English and American work-houses, these institutions were intended to provide indoor relief to all indigent members of the community. By the turn of the century, however, the inmate population was almost uniformly elderly. This paper traces the demographic evolution of one such institution, the Wellington County House of Industry, and examines the circumstances and problems, frequently gender-specific, which compelled aged men and women to enter.A la fin du XIXe siècle, un certain nombre de comtés onta riens entreprirent de construire et de financer des institutions de bien-être social.

Pourtant, au tournant du siècle, lapopulation des pensionnaires ne se composait presque plus que de personnes âgées. Cet article retrace l'évolution démographique de l'un de ces maisons, celle du comté de Wellington. De plus, il examine les circonstances et les problèmes qui poussèrent hommes et femmes âgés à y entrer et il montre que leur situation variait considérablement selon leur sexe
