Aging population is the process by which the share of the older population becomes proportionally larger.
This issue is growing perpetually in most of developed countries.
Now population in higher age groups has increased due to increased life expectancy with a reduction in birth rates.
Most of developed countries particularly (G-7) are worrying about human resource because they are playing decisive contribution in their GDP. They allocated most of share of GDP for the security and welfare of old people which they treated old people unproductive. Then how will they invested ample money for development and infrastructure. In coming next century the countries like- European countries, China, Japan, south-korea etc. Will contributed most of the share of old people world wide.
Whereas countries like - India and other south Asian countries will have youth people which will drive the country at a par level if they will posses professional skill. But it is a big challenge for countries particularly India to make them literate and skill.
Issues faced by old people
* old people face lack of social security and often face abuse. challenge by their wards.
* In today generation their ward. show ignorant behaviour towards their parents.
* They often face lack of medical. facilities and regular food due to. they are unable to do themselves and their sons are not paying much. attention.
All these arises due to weak financial status and greedy will of their son .
* most of the their wards forced. their meek parents to take asylum or to live old people. orphanage.
* today's generation become more unethical and not paying respect. which ultimately resulted into hampering their dignity.
* most of prodigy students are. pursuing for foreign countries. for better education, job. packages and better facilities of infrastructure.all these led to. brain drain and of course by. keeping their son away from. parents situated in native. countries.
But, by observing it, government implemented. stringent laws in favour of old. people for their well being and. WHO also emphasized in dealing all types of issues to concerned. countries.
As a solution of all these. problems to those countries. which will become maximum old people share in total. population, they emphasized in. Information Technology because. it requires only skill to handle and less physic strength. even very old people can earn money by providing services .
Many countries take lesson also from china because of "one child policy" which significantly contributing for the downfall of China's total GDP I.e less population growth .
In present scenario it depends on all countries to manage population growth rates with growing old people and to work with in consonance with international fora ,japan proved a paradigm in handling old people where all live in peaceful environment and positive outlook.
