This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has one of the fastest growing elderly populations in the world. Such rapid rise in the elderly population in the country gives rise to several challenges. Lack of ensured and sufficient income to support themselves, absence of social security, loss of social status and recognition, non-availability of opportunities for creative use of time and persistence of ill health are some of the daunting problems faced by the elderly in the country. Providing a decent and comfortable living arrangement continues to be a major challenge. Living arrangements among the elderly was not an issue a few decades ago because the elderly were supposed to be taken care by their families. Along with an ageing population, India is also experiencing socio-economic and demographic changes. Economies are growing, increasing modernization, women bearing fewer children and people are living longer and healthier lives. The effects of these trends on families, households, kin networks and subsequent support for older persons are complex and not well documented. Therefore, in this context, the living arrangement issues of the elderly needs attention because welfare of the elderly greatly depends on it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of Asia is growing both larger and older. Demographically the most important continent on the world, Asia's population, currently estimated to be 4.2 billion, is expected to increase to about 5.9 billion by 2050. Rapid declines in fertility, together with rising life expectancy, are altering the age structure of the population so that in 2050, for the first time in history, there will be roughly as many people in Asia over the age of 65 as under the age of 15. It is against this backdrop that the Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Research Council (NRC), through the Committee on Population, to undertake a project on advancing behavioral and social research on aging in Asia. Aging in Asia: Findings from New and Emerging Data Initiatives is a peer-reviewed collection of papers from China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand that were presented at two conferences organized in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, and Science Council of Japan; the first conference was hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, and the second conference was hosted by the Indian National Science Academy in New Delhi. The papers in the volume highlight the contributions from new and emerging data initiatives in the region and cover subject areas such as economic growth, labor markets, and consumption; family roles and responsibilities; and labor markets and consumption.

Book excerpt: Population ageing is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Prolongation of the life span does not necessarily imply that the extra years bring about continued health and prosperity. Ageing can put an increased burden on social, economic, and health care demands, especially in developing countries, such as India. When considering the demographic inversion and associated challenges, it becomes evident that investments in ageing and health are necessary to ensure India's human rights and sustainable development. Given that the proportion of older adults in society is higher, understanding the ageing process and facilitating healthy ageing are critically important. This book focuses on a variety of topics related to ageing, with the ultimate goal of promoting good health for India's elderly.
