Explore Indian policy and practice on aging from a variety of perspectives!

This pathbreaking collection provides something that has been missing in the literature on aging in India, especially for non-Indian audiences: studies of various aspects of aging in India combined with analyses of current policies, policy trends and recommendations. You''ll examine aging issues from a variety of perspectives?demographic foundations, social and family relations, economics, health and disability, current interventions, and advocacy and policy. An Aging India also provides you with up-to-date references, explanations of differences and similarities within India''s diverse population, examples of programs in various settings including a geriatric hospital, a major NGO, and old-age homes, and an overview of the development of India''s national policy on aging. Where appropriate, comparisons with U.S. policy approaches are noted.

An Aging India: Perspectives, Prospects, and Policies examines:

the demography of aging in India
the current state of research on aging, and the pitfalls associated with that research
income, poverty, and the problems created by the lack of any widespread retirement income system in India
the health status of Indian elders and what their healthcare prospects are
the situation for the disabled elderly in India
elder abuse in the Indian context
social networks and grassroots organizations for seniors in India
the role of Indian geriatric hospitals and old-age homes

The insights of the top researchers and practitioners who contributed to An Aging India: Perspectives, Prospects, and Policies will strike home with their counterparts around the world. Make this book a part of your professional/teaching collection today!
