Opis: Greying of India Population Ageing in the Context of Asia - Rajagopal Dhar Chakraborti, Chakraborti

'The author should be commended for providing single volume source of vital statistical data and a scientific overview on population ageing in Asia. The book makes useful reading for anyone interested in the science and care of the aged' - Age and Ageingi The Greying of India analyses the size, age/sex composition, spatial distribution, and social and economic conditions of the ageing population in India in the larger context of Asia. It looks for the factors responsible for the age profile of the population and seeks answers to questions such as: is fertility a more dominating factor than mortality?; and what is the role of migration in changing the age composition of a population? It investigates the implications of an ageing population for socio-economic development programmes, health care, savings, investments, consumption patterns, work force participation, migration and social security. It also scrutinises the role of the family in supporting the aged. "This useful book by a demographer at Kolkatta University provides a comprehensive description of demographic trends in Asia and implications of aging for development. Students and researchers must undertake more rigorous empirical evidence-based and public policy research in Asia, and this volume will contribute to the knowledge base." -- Mukul Asher 20060609Ageing in Asia A Broad Overview What Causes Population Ageing?
