Synopsis This book presents a selection of papers with an important contemporary theme on ageing which incorporates a considerable variety of issues of general and specific interest, including theoretical and methodological matters, varied perceptions and policies, etc. Moreover, most chapters of the book reflect individual concepts, approaches and research, which may very greatly in size, orientation and disciplinary complexity. It is hoped that this book, which covers the work carried out by the population scientists spread all over the country, would serve as an invaluable guide to research and reference materials for the planners, administrators, researchers and other professionals interested in the problems and solutions associated with the elderly people. It is hoped that the book would also help in preparing old-age policies in the changing scenario of the senior citizens in next few decades.
