Your Old Age And Retirement Golden Period

Your Old Age And Retirement Golden Period

Senior citizens of over sixty years of age, constitute the fastest growing segment of the Indian population. The overall population of our country is growing at the rate of less than 2% but the number of seniors increases more than 3% every year.

Retirees are a part of this segment but they have their peculiar problems. Senior citizens, in general face problems of health, isolation, finances and adjustment in the family. But retirees face a sudden change and break in their routine life and withdrawal of many facilities that the job offers.

Very little has been written, at least in India, about this large group of citizens, The present small book deals in a comprehensive manner, but in brief and in lucid language with their problems. It identifies those problems, offers solutions and encourages the seniors not to lose heart and live a meaningful life full of enthusiasm.

The matter given in the book is so exhaustive that it may be called a mini encyclopaedia on the problems of the aged and the retirees.
