dc.description.abstract | Population ageing is the ultimate consequence of demographic
transition. As Kerala is ahead of the rest of the country in fertility
transition by 25 years, the ageing scenario of Kerala is of particular
interest. This paper has the following objectives: (a) To assess the ageing
senario in Kerala by districts; (b) To examine the socio-economic
conditions of elderly, especially pensioners, beggars and those elderly
living in institutions; (c) To map out the old age home scenario throughout
the country; (d) To assess the profile of existing oldage homes in Kerala
and (e) To assess the profile of inmates in all oldage homes in Kerala.
