This book examines the biological, psychological, and sociocultural aspects of challenges related to ageing in India. It does so by widely referring to research works beyond the disciplinary boundary of sociology to help develop a lucid yet critical understanding of sociological ageing.
Apart from providing an invaluable introduction to the major issues involved in the study of ageing from a sociological perspective, this book discusses demographic perspective, social dimensions, social support, and state policies in detail. It aptly describes challenges faced by elderly people and avenues of opportunities available to them to remain actively engaged in life.
This book would be useful to the students, researchers and teachers of Sociology, Social Work, Public Health and Psychology. It would also be an invaluable companion to professionals working in the field of Gerontology, Health and Social care, and NGOs working with older people.
