Volume : I, Issue : VII, August - 2011 AGED AND THE ISSUES OF STATUS IN THE FAMILY SEDAMKAR CHANDRAKUMAR,H. B. SEDAMKAR Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The population of the aged is increasing in the developed and developing
countries. And the span of life had also increased. It is because of sharp decline in
the mortality rate, steady decline in fertility rate and improvements in medical
technology as well as public health programmes. India's aged population is
currently the second largest in the world.
As most of the old people are free from their earlier occupation and spending
most of their time in family. Therefore, there is a need to study the problems of the
aged particularly women and the status of the aged in the changing family system.
The present study was conducted in Gulbarga city selecting 400 respondents of
pensioners and non-pensioners category. Respondents were selected by using
stratified proportionate sampling who were studied by employing an interview
schedule. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : SEDAMKAR CHANDRAKUMAR,H. B. SEDAMKAR, (2011). AGED AND THE ISSUES OF STATUS IN THE FAMILY. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. I, Issue.
