Produktbeschreibung

This book gives a comprehensive account of social security among the old, an emerging problem in the country's social scenario. It covers demographic projections up to 2050, and compares India with the trends in developed and developing countries. The book analyses financial security among both formal and informal sector workers, and the extent to which persons on their own would be able to take care of themselves in old age. The health security aspects of older persons have been discussed, including the roles played by the public and private sectors, non-governmental organizations, cooperative societies, insurance, and other institutions. Caring arrangements for the old in the family and in other forms of care have been analyzed. Finally, the book reviews the national policy on the old, arguing that elderly persons are also a resource and not just dependents. It has indicated areas of action by the state, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, the family and other institutions of civil society.
