In my opinion the solution will make a difference in this question, not approaches because owing to cultural diversity of Pakistan no matter how do you discuss this issue, it will be admissible up to some extent. |

needy families for the care of the elderly, can be one solution. A bill addressing the rights of the elderly and duties of the young towards them can also be presented with neglect being a punishable offence, giving the elderly the right to invoke state help through hotline etc., much like the Zainab Alert Bill. Like you said, this issue needs to be addressed first at the micro level (the family), and then the macro level (the government). There is only so much that the state can do to protect the hordes of elderly people that can possibly flood the streets as homeless people if the family structure is destroyed. |

I do not disagree with you both. I agree Direwolf that they will be economically and socially depended at this age. But, certain extent of economic independence is required for them to support their livelihood and health expenditures. After all, they depend on their kids due to lack of social security programs for them by govt. Socially there is alienation for them, mostly because of immobility, death of a partner, friends and being left out by children somewhat. This question though argumentative can be explained by everyone differently. Even when i saw the question two ideas sprung out of my mind. first approach correlates to the position (status) they enjoy with respect to the class, caste and by profession etc... which is exalted. But, this approach does not appease to my exposition of the question. Second view i already defined as in the status they hold in our society at micro (family and community) and macro (government and different institutions) levels, which are problems, issues and challenges they face at that age. Specifying social care, economic alienation, moral challenges mental health issues and shortness of (nearly none) institutional care units/centers. (I consider this to be safe and it is mere reiteration of my prior thoughts). Though, these problems are not only creation of families or communities but also at large institutional and involve government. Being concise i just hold "solutions" are not required we just need to focus on status they hold in society as addressed in "second" view. |

1. Reforming economic policies so that the burden on working class can be lowered, which will give them time to take care of elderly. Currently they are working 10-12 hours and now even their women are working outside but still they are struggling for basic needs.As a result they don't have any time neither for themselves nor for the elderly. 2. Providing basic provisions to all of the citizens in Pakistan. This will benefit two age groups the most; one is children and second is of course the elderly. |

for economically dependent. They will be dependent on state like they will get some monthly stipend or facilities. But you summed it up in your last words. Your focus is on the present status of elderly while mine is on the causes and solution. I do not know for sure which one is right but it is just that if I had been present in that paper I would have attempted like this with my current level of understanding. |

I am really sorry to intrude in this discussion, but I believe that this thread might actually be one of the most insightful places on this whole forum. I have a query, and hope you could help me out. I would like to inquire from which books/resources are you preparing for the examination? If you could just briefly describe the resources that you are consulting, it would help me immensely. Thanks |
