Description
Both healthcare and life expectancy among the senior citizens is a matter of great significance as they constitute about eight per cent of the total population. The book presents an in-depth analysis of issues relevant to the life of senior citizens. It suggests several ways to cope with the problems, especially health-related and emotional, generally faced by the elders. The book is immensely useful not only to the growing number of senior citizens but also guides the younger generation in appreciating better the concerns of their elders.
The author, who is himself a senior citizen and Member Secretary of a non-political organization, “Citizenship Development Society”, provides answers to many problems faced by his contemporaries and exhorts them to lead a useful life in their twilight years.
