Quality of life of older women in urban

By Gupta Nidhi

INTRODUCTION

Greying of the population is one of the major achievements and most significant

characteristics of the twenty-first century, which reflects the success of the process of

human development. Major improvements in nutrition, sanitation, medicine, health

care, education, knowledge, and economic well-being, in general, have made it

possible for people to live longer. Increasing life expectancy at birth and reduced

lifetime fertility due to improvement in health and medical facilities are the key

driving factors driving "demographic transition". Aging provides new opportunities

as well as challenges. On one end, it is associated with the active participation of older

generations in both economy and society at large, on the other end, it poses various

challenges.
