| Annotation | The choice of living arrangement - as an independent household, together with adult children or other related or unrelated persons, or in an institution - strongly influences an older person's psychological and economic well-being. It also affects the non-old, because, if most older people chose to stay independent, then housing becomes relatively more scarce. This article presents demographic profiles of older people (age 60+) in India, and according to living arrangements for rural and urban areas. Trends in the burden of support for older people are examined. (RH). |
