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.

• the demography of aging in India
• the current state of research on aging, and the pitfalls associated with that research

• 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
