| Annotation | India observed the International Year for Older Persons in 1999 by formulating a national policy for older people. The main objectives of this study of older people are to: examine the socio-demographic characteristics of those living in an urban neighbourhood; study their economic status; study the interaction of older people and their families, relatives and neighbours; assess their physical and mental health; and to obtain their opinions about elder care. There is evidence of progress towards ensuring a serene and peaceful life for older people in India. (RH). |
