An Aging India: Perspectives, Prospects & Policies

S. Irudaya Rajan (Editor) Phoebe S. Liebig (Editor)

Synopsis This pathbreking collection provides something that has been missing in the literature in aging in India: studies of various aspects of aging in India combined with analyses of current policies, policy trends and recommendations. It examines aging issues from a variety of perspectives- demographic foundation, social and family relation, economics, health and disability, current interventions, and advocacy and policy. An Aging India also provides up-to-date references, explanations of differences and similarities within Indiaâ€™s diverse population, examples of programs in various setting including a geriatric hospital, a major NGO, and old-age homes, and an overview of the development of Indiaâ€™s national policy on aging. The book will certainly prove to be a valuable addition for all scholars and planners working in this field.
