Aging or ageing is a natural process of becoming older and older. In India, as well as in countries, the population of older people is increasing rapidly. In developing countries, as more and more homemakers are now getting into economic activities, it has become stressful for this traditional elderly caregiver to devote adequate time and effort. This changing demography is now reflected in the national policy for elderly, which suggested the provisions for the institutionalized elderly-care, apart from the voluntary and community sector.

Against this background, the present paper makes an attempt to have a qualitative survey on socio-economic and psychological issues of elderly people of Bhubaneswar, India.

Abstract


Aging or ageing is a natural process of becoming older and older. In India, as well as in countries, the population of older people is increasing rapidly. In developing countries, as more and more homemakers are now getting into economic activities, it has become stressful for this traditional elderly caregiver to devote adequate time and effort. This changing demography is now reflected in the national policy for elderly, which suggested the provisions for the institutionalized elderly-care, apart from the voluntary and community sector.

Against this background, the present paper makes an attempt to have a qualitative survey on socio-economic and psychological issues of elderly people of Bhubaneswar, India.
