Senior citizens deserve to be looked after by the state
I strongly believe senior citizens should be looked after by the state. There are many reasons behind it. Senior citizens are very old and require lots of attention and care. They might be in need of financial assistance.
They deserve this looking after from the state. They deserve it because they dedicate all their life serving the nation or state. They pay taxes all their life contributing to the national and state revenues respectively. In return for this life-long contribution to the nation building, the state owes this looking after them.
In the modern times, nuclear families are in vogue. Most of the children after getting married, prefer to live separately. This also makes the senior citizens alone, helpless, and dependent on so many factors. State must make provisions to look after senior citizens in such a scenario.
The most important reason is senior citizens don’t have any source of income after retirement. Their situation becomes more piteous in case their children are living separately. State must ensure regular allowance for them.
In all the advanced countries, senior citizens are looked after by state or central Government. In India also, the senior citizens must be looked after by the state or central Government.
