ABSTRACT <br />
<br />
The last century has witnessed a rapid increase in the population of the elderly people in the developed and<br />
industrialized countries. This phenomenon is not restricted to the western world only, but many countries such as ours are<br />
now feeling the impact of this transaction. This situation could be attributed to a combination of factors such as increase<br />
in age, longevity and decreased death rates due to advancement in the field of medicine, improvement of life expectancy<br />
at birth, and enhancement in the average span of life. India ranks 4th in terms of absolute size of elderly population .The<br />
country is not adequately equipped to look after their special health needs and the changing traditional value system. A<br />
feeling is now growing among the aged persons that the attitude of the younger generation towards them is not as desired.<br />
In the above context, a study was conducted to understand the feeling of the elderly residing in the old age homes and<br />
within the family setup in Jammu. The sample of elderly women was selected using the “Purposive sampling” technique<br />
to select 30 elderly women from the old age home as well as a similar number from the family setups. The data was<br />
collected using a specially designed Interview schedule and observation technique through a house- to-house survey for<br />
those residing in the families. Non-working status of these women and above 60 years of age was criteria for sample<br />
selection. Results of the study revealed that most of the elderly felt the attitude of the younger generation is unsatisfactory<br />
towards them especially those who were in old age homes in terms of getting respect, love and affection from the family<br />
members instead they were considered as burden for others. Women living in the families had a positive attitude towards<br />
old age. The social relationship of the elderly women living in families and those living in old age home also differed.<br />
Noticeably; there was a fall in the overall efficiency, sociability, degree of involvement in work and hobbies. On the other<br />
hand, better social relations were maintained by the family dwellers because they had regular interaction, expressions of<br />
feelings and support from the family.<br />
