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.

The socioeconomic, health, and public-policy aspects of aging in India are presented in this study that draws on empirical research to assess the country’s preparedness. This analysis argues that many of the fundamental issues that need to be addressed by a country with a large aging population are not fully understood by public agencies. A number of policy options for the welfare of the growing number of elderly, particularly women, are proposed.

This work Elderly in India: Issues and Dimensions is one of my thought provoking ideas which I have gained from the experience in the academic and research fields all these years. I see the elderly are important for every one of us to see the problems from their rich experience and patience they have. Our family was enjoying the contributions which have been made by the elderly because we had the strong joint family system. When the family becoming small in sizes and nuclear in types we had to accept the migration of the family by keeping the elderly in their respective villages we started to lose the rich experience of the elderly. Within the elderly, those who are living in the rural areas somewhat better because they find the employment though the working hours are reduced, but the urban areas providing low scope and space for the elderly is concerned. The adaptability and adjustment problems are obvious amongst the family members to accommodate the elderly and push them towards the old age homes. Their interests, aspirations, love and affection towards the families denied very much and there are possibilities for stress in the family since most of the elderly are missing there. The advancement in the health sector the longevity has been increasing and a elderly easily may live beyond 80 and all if he or she maintains the positive health. There is a constraint also being discussed many forums about the inability of the elderly to stay in the family since adjustment is associated with the family. The theoretical models suggests that that the activity of the elderly still significant for the elderly because they can continue their contributions wherever possible. The finding ways of delivering the labor is the key for the elderly to maintain the happiness, earnings and share the economic constraints of the families. Many of the elderly who stay in the old age homes at free of costs because of they were unable to save any left out money which has been earned when at young. The activity theory insists that using the labor by the aged can keep them always young mentally though the chronological age is deciding for official purposes. The elderly living with the family is different from staying lonely since care providers are hardly visible. Many countries across the world is already has experienced with significant proportion of the elderly ranging from 20.00% to 30.00% but India is concerned currently we have nearly 9.00%. Absolute number is more in India since our population is around approximately 130 crores by 2020. The problems of the elderly are in between 60 and 70 is different from 80 and above is entirely different and each cohort has to be given proper emphasize. The centenarian issues to be dealt with the appropriate methodological dimensions and the widows too to be seen from appropriate perspectives. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects are need of the hour to analyze the elderly in India. The careful outlook has to be taken into consideration to identify the gap areas in the elderly research. The studies which have been carried out on elderly and guiding the students for getting the PhD has helped me to write this book to reach wider readership in the country and beyond.

The population of Asia is growing both larger and older. Demographically the most important continent on the world, Asia's population, currently estimated to be 4.2 billion, is expected to increase to about 5.9 billion by 2050. Rapid declines in fertility, together with rising life expectancy, are altering the age structure of the population so that in 2050, for the first time in history, there will be roughly as many people in Asia over the age of 65 as under the age of 15. It is against this backdrop that the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Research Council (NRC), through the Committee on Population, to undertake a project on advancing behavioral and social research on aging in Asia. Aging in Asia: Findings from New and Emerging Data Initiatives is a peer-reviewed collection of papers from China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand that were presented at two conferences organized in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, and Science Council of Japan; the first conference was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, and the second conference was hosted by the Indian National Science Academy in New Delhi. The papers in the volume highlight the contributions from new and emerging data initiatives in the region and cover subject areas such as economic growth, labor markets, and consumption; family roles and responsibilities; and labor markets and consumption.
