Maintenance And Welfare Of Parents And Senior Citizens – Legal Protection

Abstract

Globally, the population of elder persons is rising faster than the general population. The population ageing has its implications on the life of elder person. This would affect their social, economic and physical well being. More specifically, they are facing so many problems and challenges that may relate to their physical and mental health, problems relating to ageing like, memory loss, declining mobility, absence of interaction to members of family or society due to physical inaccessibility, etc. Financial insecurity is another major issue which declines the quality of life. These problems create the feeling of loneliness and seclusion. Often they are not in a position to manage or maintain their life. Hence, they need regular support from other family members.
