India’s ageing population is growing rapidly; over 60s constitute
7 per cent of the total population and this is projected to triple
in the next four decades. Drawing on a wide range of studies, this
book examines living arrangements across India and their impact on
the care and wellbeing of older people. Addressing access to
welfare initiatives and changing cultural norms including
co-residence, family care and migration, it reveals the diversity
of living arrangements, cultural customs and the welfare issues
facing older adults in India. This book offers a crucial
examination for practitioners, researchers and policymakers seeking
to understand and develop the infrastructure required to meet the
needs of older people in India.
