Book Description
National Policy on Older Persons formulated by the Government of India aims at their wellbeing by strengthening legitimate place for them in the society so that during the last phase of their life they could live with purpose, dignity, and peace. The old in India face deprivations on many counts - economic, emotional, and of course health. With the breakdown of the joint family system and disintegrating traditional care systems the old have become even more vulnerable. A low birth rate, with a corresponding rise in life expectancy, has lead to a situation where the numbers of care seekers outnumber the caregivers. This places an immense stress on social relationships. Unless the old are given meaningful roles in society, they will experience a vacuum. The responsibility for caring of the aged in the new millennium will have to be borne jointly by the young wage earners and the government. Unless measures are taken quickly very few of the old will be proud of living longer. The elderly crave for respect, love, affection and attention. A positive way to look at the elderly is to consider them as a human resource full of experience and skills and not as a liability. These should be meaningfully utilised by offering them second career options.

Book Description
Abuse of senior citizens is often an unspoken or largely ignored problem in India. With the changing lifestyles and moving away from joint families and even nuclear families, this has become a big issue, made worse due to the ongoing Covid pandemic. Much of the abuse often happens where the abusers are related to, or sometimes live close to or with the senior citizens being abused. This makes it especially difficult to report and detect. In this book, we consider the problem of senior citizen abuse, the types and causes of such abuse and what can be done to prevent it. We also look at different organizations such as NGOs who are working for the benefit of senior citizens. This book focuses more on the practical aspects of what action should a senior citizen take to stop abuse in any form, by leveraging the protections and institutions available under Indian law.

Book Description
This volume highlights a range of issues underpinning elder care in India, with particular focus on the challenges that India faces in caring for the elderly. In addition to the very limited state support and near total dependence on the family for long-term social care and economic support, the changing dynamics between generations in the family structure and privatization of health care in general create new challenges that need to be addressed. Although care plays a significant role in the well-being of the elderly, there is not much research available from India. This volume draws on field-based evidence and the legal framework in India to understand the ways in which care is organized for the elderly and to locate the main sources of care provision. The book addresses key themes such as shrinking of traditional support base of the elderly, trajectory of old age homes in India and care arrangements for the elderly within the community. Written by academics and practitioners in the field of gerontology, this book is an informative resource for demographers, gerontologists, social scientists studying aging, and human rights and legal experts working with the aged.
