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: This work Elderly in India: Issues and Dimensions is one of my thought provoking ideas which I have gained from the experience in the academic and research fields all these years. I see the elderly are important for every one of us to see the problems from their rich experience and patience they have. Our family was enjoying the contributions which have been made by the elderly because we had the strong joint family system. When the family becoming small in sizes and nuclear in types we had to accept the migration of the family by keeping the elderly in their respective villages we started to lose the rich experience of the elderly. Within the elderly, those who are living in the rural areas somewhat better because they find the employment though the working hours are reduced, but the urban areas providing low scope and space for the elderly is concerned. The adaptability and adjustment problems are obvious amongst the family members to accommodate the elderly and push them towards the old age homes. Their interests, aspirations, love and affection towards the families denied very much and there are possibilities for stress in the family since most of the elderly are missing there. The advancement in the health sector the longevity has been increasing and a elderly easily may live beyond 80 and all if he or she maintains the positive health. There is a constraint also being discussed many forums about the inability of the elderly to stay in the family since adjustment is associated with the family. The theoretical models suggests that that the activity of the elderly still significant for the elderly because they can continue their contributions wherever possible. The finding ways of delivering the labor is the key for the elderly to maintain the happiness, earnings and share the economic constraints of the families. Many of the elderly who stay in the old age homes at free of costs because of they were unable to save any left out money which has been earned when at young. The activity theory insists that using the labor by the aged can keep them always young mentally though the chronological age is deciding for official purposes. The elderly living with the family is different from staying lonely since care providers are hardly visible. Many countries across the world is already has experienced with significant proportion of the elderly ranging from 20.00% to 30.00% but India is concerned currently we have nearly 9.00%. Absolute number is more in India since our population is around approximately 130 crores by 2020. The problems of the elderly are in between 60 and 70 is different from 80 and above is entirely different and each cohort has to be given proper emphasize. The centenarian issues to be dealt with the appropriate methodological dimensions and the widows too to be seen from appropriate perspectives. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects are need of the hour to analyze the elderly in India. The careful outlook has to be taken into consideration to identify the gap areas in the elderly research. The studies which have been carried out on elderly and guiding the students for getting the PhD has helped me to write this book to reach wider readership in the country and beyond.

Download or read book Golden Aging written by Maurizio Bussolo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to other regions, Europe and Central Asia are by far the oldest. Moreover, population aging is set to accelerate further over the coming decades as large segments turn old. Additionally, some countries such as Russia and certain Eastern European countries are facing a shrinkage of their population. Against this backdrop, this report investigates what stands in the way of societies reaping the full benefits of increased longevity--that is, longer lives and potentially prolonged payoffs from human capital--and what can help to mitigate the possible negative impacts of a smaller and older workforce. Beginning with a focus on demographic trends, the report puts the rapid decline in fertility and contrasting migration trends in the region in a historical perspective and looks forward to the varying paths that population change may follow in the region. Next, it examines the evidence on the likely impact of demographic change on growth and savings, the labor force, firm and economy-wide innovation, poverty and inequality, and intergenerational solidarity. Finally, the report goes beyond diagnostics and puts an emphasis on what we know regarding successful policy interventions, presenting evidence on what has and has not worked in the past.--Publisher description.

Download or read book Crazy Age written by Jane Miller and published by Virago. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since I have inhabited old age, I have looked and listened, mostly in vain, for news of what it is like for others who inhabit it too. Naturally, I'm interested in its well-known depredations, the physical and mental ones that people in their forties and fifties so publicly dread. And who would not delight in the theatrical props of old age - the pills and sticks, the shrieking hearing aids and the tricks for countering the loss of names and threads and glasses. But that's not all. I have a fond hope that in old age there may be new kinds of time and of pleasure, perhaps even new kinds of vitality, and that, though we forget and muddle and fail to hear things, there may be moments when we truly understand what's going on for the first time. But then I've always been a late developer.' Deeply thoughtful, wry and resilient, this fascinating and absorbing book about growing older is a life-enhancing look at what all of us - if we are lucky - can aspire to.

Download or read book Future Directions for the Demography of Aging written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 25 years have passed since the Demography of Aging (1994) was published by the National Research Council. Future Directions for the Demography of Aging is, in many ways, the successor to that original volume. The Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to produce an authoritative guide to new directions in demography of aging. The papers published in this report were originally presented and discussed at a public workshop held in Washington, D.C., August 17-18, 2017. The workshop discussion made evident that major new advances had been made in the last two decades, but also that new trends and research directions have emerged that call for innovative conceptual, design, and measurement approaches. The report reviews these recent trends and also discusses future directions for research on a range of topics that are central to current research in the demography of aging. Looking back over the past two decades of demography of aging research shows remarkable advances in our understanding of the health and well-being of the older population. Equally exciting is that this report sets the stage for the next two decades of innovative researchâ€"a period of rapid growth in the older American population.
Download or read book A Guy Growing Old in a Country Growing Young written by Desmond Macedo and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a country where 50 per cent of the population is younger than twenty-five, what does it mean to be old? Ask Dan Mullagathanny. Not that Dan is old. He is only forty-nine. Anywhere else, he would be in his prime: ripe for the big promotion, ready for the big responsibility. If he was already married, he could have started an affair. If he was having an affair, he could have ended it and gone back to his wife to reflect on his foolishness. But in India, with youngsters all around, he is ageing faster. There are no jobs for him. And why would there be when his employers can hire two twenty-four-year-olds - smarter, more ambitious, more 'with it' - for the age of a forty-nine-year-old? In trying to woo girls, he becomes a storehouse of their secrets, and the most he can hope for is a polite platonic friendship. He cannot decide whether to be on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, and he cannot understand why he should say 'given the fact that' when he can more easily say 'since'. India is no country for old men. Will Dan make himself count or lose his voice here? A funny-sad story about being a misfit in a rapidly changing world, A Guy Growing Old in a Country Growing Young is compelling satire that asks important questions with an unusually light touch.
