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 nonpensioners category. Respondents were selected by using stratified proportionate sampling who were studied by employing an interview schedule. | | Keywords : | | |
