Senior Citizens: Problems and Welfare

1.

INTRODUCTION
Elderly or old age consists of ages nearing or surpassing the average life span of
human beings. The boundary of old age cannot be defined exactly because it does not
have the same meaning in all societies. Government of India had adopted National
Policy on Older Persons in January, 1999. The policy defines senior citizen or elderly
as a person who is of age 60 years or above1.

2.

GLOBAL SCENARIO
The aging of populations is one of the glaring consequences of demographic
transition. The advanced countries of the world have developed policies and
programmes to avert crises and promote economic growth. The developing economies
such as South Asia are also well on their way along a similar course, and are either
prepared to face the consequences or to manage the growing number of the elderly
through appropriate policies.
The worlds population is expected to increase to 9.4 billion by 2050 from the
current 7.3 billion. During the same period, the proportion of the elderly population is
expected to increases from 10.4 per cent to 21.7 per cent. Among the elderly, it is the
oldest among the old whose numbers will increase most rapidly over time, or about 320
million by 2050. The likely scenario of the global population projected by the United
Nations (2005) for the period 2005 to 2150 is presented in the following table 2:Future Scenario of the Global Population Projected by UN

INITIATIVES BY THE UNITED NATIONS

The United Nations adopted the 1st International Plan of Action on Ageing in
Vienna in 1982, and it took until 1991 for the General Assembly to adopt the UN
Principles for Older Persons (Resolution 46/91) and its 4 main themes - independence,
participation, care, self-fulfillment and dignity. The Committee on Economic, Social and
Culture Rights
adopted the General comment on the Economic and Social, and
Cultural Rights of Older Persons.
In 1999, with the International Year of Older Persons, came the Conceptual
Framework based on the Plan and Principles with 4 priority areas (i) the situation of
older persons, (ii) individual life long development, (iii) the relationship between
generations, (iv) the inter-relationship of population, aging and development. Finally, in
Madrid in 2002, the 2nd World Assembly on Ageing (WAA) had adopted unanimously a
Political Declaration and an International Strategic Plan of Action on Ageing. The 2004
report of the Secretary-General to the General Assembly recommends to assign fulltime focal points on ageing and provide them with adequate resources to further
implementation3. The International day of older persons is celebrated every year on
1 October.

PROBLEMS OF THE ELDERLY

Though ageing is the natural stage of human life, it brings with it innumerable
problems for the people who have grown old. A detailed analysis of the major problems
of the aged in the light of the findings from various studies is explained below:

5.

Economic Problems: As far as economic problems are concerned, they are very
basic to all the other problems faced by the aged. With superannuation, a person
has to retire from the service, which not only results in loss of employment and
social status but also a substantial reduction in his income level. Majority of the
elderly face acute financial problems, which makes older persons economically
insecure.

Physiological Problems: With growing age, older persons experience various

anatomical and physiological changes. These changes bring many psychological,
behavioral and attitudinal changes in them. Consequently, they have to suffer varied
sorts of physiological problems such as loss of physical strength and stamina, which
become more acute as a person grows older.

Housing related Problems: Housing for the aged should be suitable not only to the
living pattern which they have established in optimum health, but also to conditions
of failing health and illness, commonly associated with later years of life such as,
failing eye sight of hearing, slowing and unsureness of step, diminishing energy and
more acute disabilities, such as blindness, forgetfulness etc. On this pattern, the
housing available to a majority of the senior citizens may be found inappropriate and
unsuitable to their requirement. The sizeable populations of older widows as well as
the older males have been facing the problem of where to live peacefully.

Problem of Elder Abuse: Elder abuse is usually defined as any ill treatment to an
older person. It refers to infliction of physical, emotional or psychological harm on
an older adult. Around 81 per cent of the elderly persons face the problem of verbal
abuse, while 53 per cent of them face neglect followed by material abuse (37 per
cent) and physical abuse (23 per cent)7.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS
Article 41 of the Constitution provides that the State shall, within the limits of its
economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing the right to
work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age,
sickness and disablement, and in other cases of undeserved want.
Article 47 provides that the State shall regard the raising of the level of nutrition
and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as among

members comprising Central and State Governments representatives, representatives

INITIATIVES BY NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION (NHRC)

With a view to ensure the well-being of senior citizen, by strengthening their

legitimate place in society and extending support for financial and food security, health
care, shelter, equitable share in development, protection against abuse and exploitation
and other needs, efforts need to be made in the 12th Five Year Plan for (i) setting up a
National Commission for Senior Citizen to look into their grievances on priority for
redressal and ensure that services and facilities meant for them are being provided; (ii)
establishment of Old Age Homes for Indigent Senior Citizens with integrated multifacility centre of varying capacity in 640 districts of the country, through State
Governments; (iii) setting up of a Hellene and District level help lines for older persons;
(iv) setting up of Bureau for Socio-Economic Empowerment of Senior Citizens at district
level; (v) creation of National Trust for the Aged; (vi) issue of Smart Identity Cards for
senior citizens; and (vii) health insurance for senior citizens19.

Conclusion
Health care services should be based on the felt needs of the elderly population,
which would involve a comprehensive baseline morbidity survey and functional
assessment in health areas that are perceived to be important to them. Education,
training and information needs of older persons will also have to be met. The main
thrust of welfare should be to identify the more vulnerable among the older persons
such as the poor, the disabled, the infirm, the chronically sick and those without family
support, and provide welfare services to them on a priority basis.
Voluntary
organizations will have to be encouraged and assisted to organize services such as day
care, multi-service citizens centres, outreach services, supply of disability related aids
and appliances, assistances to old persons to learn to use them, short term stay
services and friendly home visits by social workers.
