Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present study is an attempt to analyze the sex differentials in the extent of social isolation felt by the aged in our society. It is based upon 120 aged drawn from an urban setting (Ludhiana city). The sample was distributed equally over the three socio-economic strata (high, middle and low) and the two sexes. The investigations revealed that the males and females experienced social isolation in comparable proportions and degrees across various dimensions of social isolation (family, friends, neighbours and coping mechanisms) and across all socio-economic levels (high, middle and low).
