list of the problems faced by senior citizens in telugu or English
Answers
Answer:
The elderly Indian population is one of the fastest growing in the world.
At 110 million, India has the second largest global population of ageing citizens.
By 2050, that number will probably increase to 240 million.
Yet, India lacks basic infrastructure and expertise to support the health & welfare of our elderly.
According to multiple surveys across the country, for most Indian senior citizens, the biggest concerns are: Healthcare costs, Lack of financial support and Isolation. In addition, most of the aged are not accorded the dignity of care they deserve in later life.
Lack of physical infrastructure is a major deterrent to providing comfort for the aged. There are few purpose-built Care Homes or even public ramps available for the less mobile older citizen – for example those needing wheel chairs access. With increasing longevity and debilitating chronic diseases, many elder citizens will need better access to physical infrastructure in the coming years. This would be both at their own homes and in public spaces, including roads and malls.
