National Policy on Older Persons formulated by the Government of India aims at their wellbeing by strengthening legitimate place for them in the society so that during the last phase of their life they could live with purpose, dignity, and peace. The old in India face deprivations on many counts - economic, emotional, and of course health. With the breakdown of the joint family system and disintegrating traditional care systems the old have become even more vulnerable. A low birth rate, with a corresponding rise in life expectancy, has lead to a situation where the numbers of care seekers outnumber the caregivers. This places an immense stress on social relationships. Unless the old are given meaningful roles in society, they will experience a vacuum. The responsibility for caring of the aged in the new millennium will have to be borne jointly by the young wage earners and the government. Unless measures are taken quickly very few of the old will be proud of living longer. The elderly crave for respect, love, affection and attention. A positive way to look at the elderly is to consider them as a human resource full of experience and skills and not as a liability. These should be meaningfully utilised by offering them second career options.
