Why is a Career important for the Elderly Indian?
The resources in India, both from the government and the private sectors is
very limited to provide the Senior Indian Citizen many basic benefits
like health care, food, housing and insurance.
Many children of this
generation are sadly neglecting the needs of their parents. Infact the
joint family system has broken down leading the youngsters to stay away
from their parents most often letting the elders fend for themselves.
Many
of the retired Indians have invariably borrowed heavily on their
retirement funds to conduct their daughter's marriage or for some such
expense. Invariably they are not able to pay this back.
For all
these reasons it is upto the elderly to find a definite source of
income for themselves. And what better way to do it than find a
comfortable job?
But a career is not for economic reasons alone. It
keeps the elderly physically and mentally occupied, and in turn helps
them to lead an active life. It also increases their self confidence
and esteem. So even those who are financially comfortable can decide to
take up a career and enjoy the benefits of healthy living....
