1. Read the passage given below.

A large majority of the elderly in India do not get long-term and palliative care. revealed

a study conducted for the United Nations. The survey of more than 10,000 respondents

across Northern, Southern, Western, Eastern, and Central India during May-June 2018,

showed that 62.1% of the elderly did not get such care. More than half of these people,

52.4%, said they primarily need traditional family support, says a study by Agewell

Research and Advocacy Centre.

Older people in India often face problems such as disability, restricted mobility,

loneliness, poverty and lack of awareness on accessing old-term care. With a fast

growing population of older people, the ever-increasing gap between generations and the

fast and demanding lifestyle of young people for a majority of older people, life is still a

struggle for independence.

"According to 64% of elderly respondents, loneliness, marginalisation, and isolation are

the most critical issues faced by bedridden, elderly patients as they cannot visit, meet or

interact with their relatives, friends and neighbours," said Himanshu Rath, founder of

Agewell Foundation.

The elderly have to compromise and make adjustments in their lifestyle according to the

wishes of the younger members of their families to ensure they are cared for, the study

revealed. It highlighted that 67.6% of the elderly being taken care of their family

members have to look after the children of the families. They have to perform tasks such

as babysitting in return for proper care and support.

"Around 73.7% said they have to take care of the house and other properties of their

younger family members to ensure long-term and palliative care in old age," the study

report said. "Over 75% of respondents have to limit their personal social interactions as

their family members direct them to do so, otherwise their family members can avoid

providing their basic needs of food and medicines."Most elderly respondents (68.5%​
