India's population is rapidly ageing, with the number of elderly people expected to double by 2050, representing approximately 20% of the total population. This book highlights ageing issues in India from a wider perspective, bringing in national, regional and global contexts in one frame. It provides a comprehensive analysis of ageing while examining the socio-demographic and epidemiological transitions taking place in this century.
The book connects global ageing issues to the Indian context while discussing the challenges and responses towards making a society for all ages. It presents previously uncovered subjects like feminization of ageing, gender-focused empowerment of older adults, medical gerontology growth, informal care needs, and mental well-being as interconnected themes, offering comprehensive insights for contemporary challenges concerning the older population. With expert contributors offering extensive analysis through fresh perspectives, this volume effectively combines theoretical frameworks with practical applications that move beyond conventional approaches to ageing and advance our understanding.
The book would be of interest to researchers and academics working on ageing, social work, health and social care, sociology & social policy, and public health policy and practice. It would also appeal to community workers and non-government organization personnel.
