Abstract:
In many countries including our country people who are more than 60 years of age are considered as senior citizen. But truly aging is not number of years one has lived. It is a characteristic of person which changes as years pass and those characters include changes in life expectancy, health, cognitive functions and other measures. The people who have worked for their whole life for themselves and their family do deserve peace in their final stage of their life.
As modernization has increased the traditional family system has changed and along with this change there is growth in technology and social media. With these changes life of many of our senior and most valued member of our society has become more complicated. Why the sense of awareness has come to their mind that they have to secure their own future even if they have their own family?
Many times, while moving around in our societies or in the areas where we live we see that many of these elderly people form their groups talking to each other sharing their life experiences which make them feel happy. Also, there are many elderly people who suffer a lot even in this stage of their life because of some health issues, family problems, financial problems, etc but they don't speak out loud. Why these people do not have a proper information about the external help which they can get? They also become socially inactive because of many reasons like losing their loved ones, getting retire from their jobs, losing their friends or because of some health concerns. All of these sudden changes in their life are difficult for them to accept. What can be the probable setup which will ease the disparity and make them feel the part of the community?
