| Abstract: | The number of senior citizens is increasing worldwide. In India 8% of population is above 60 years as per census 2011. The peculiarity of growth of senior citizen in India is that first the population is ageing and then country is developing, unlike western countries where countries developed first and then number of senior citizen increased. This phenomenon has huge impact on planning for the needs of growing number of senior citizen. The United Nations declared the theme for international year of older people 2013. "The future we want: what older persons are saying". This is an attempt by policy makers to know what elders wish to convey. |
