When we attain 60 years, we have a general feeling of getting old.
Grey hair is the sign by which the young ones conclude that we are old and experienced.
We do get some respect in the society as senior citizens for the sake of age
After serving the society through the government or private organizations, we are labeled as retired at the age of 55/58/60/62/65 years depending on the organizations.
Retirement from service is a great relief for many of us because we can be independent in our life with the pension offered by the organizations.
Grey haired retired grand fathers and mothers are the great support for their sons and daughters to take care of their children.
Thus one likes to take rest after retirement usually does not get full relief.
However, some of them like to take care of the grand children with great love and affection even at the cost of their comfort.
It is more prevalent in Asian societies.
Some of the sixty plus people have problems with their sons and daughter-in-laws.
The relationship among them depends on the economic status of the family.
Invariably the retired persons are isolated because of their children are on the spree by staying abroad.
Once in a while they pay a visit to the retired parents and stay with them for a few days even though they get a month's leave.
Most of the time, they try to procure as many cheap things as possible to carry to their home of earning.
If the parents are too old, they admit them in old age homes and leave with a great satisfaction.
All sorts of things happen to the sixty plus people.
If these grey haired people are not healthy, it becomes more problematic,
No one is there to look after with affection.
Those joint family days are gone, although there are some here and there in India, which are dying day by day.
The only help the retired person gets is the pension every month whish keeps him or her smiling.
Some of the independent couples are happy in visiting temples, churches, mosques or tourist spots and enjoy the rest of their life with the 30 per cent concession in railway fares in India.
Some still work hard as they were doing earlier to earn more money and save for their grand children.
All kinds of grey haired, retired persons are seen in the society.
Most of them are disciplined and take care of health by regular morning / evening walk, healthy food and social activities.
They try to give their expertise to the society for a cost or not cost, just to offer help.
Society gets lot of help from such retired persons.
The Director of the Institute of Gerontology, China says 'we do not only have the world's largest population but also the largest population of people over sixty.'
Same is the case in almost all countries of the world.
It is going to be a great task for the governments in future for meeting age-related fiscal, social, health and productivity challenges.
The 4-2-1 phenomenon is happening in China, where one child has to look after four grand parents and two parents because of the one-child norm prevalent in China.
Pension and healthcare are the burden every national government has to face.
People live long nowadays because of various reasons including medical support and healthy food.
Therefore, in future, the security for sixty plus is going to be more serious than now.
Government assistance is going to be the only key to tackle the challenges of a graying population.
Families and its numbers have a tremendous role to play in handling the problems of these people.
So far we have seen only those who are getting the government support of pension.
What happens to those unfortunate sixty plus people who live in villages far away from the towns and cities?
They also attain the age of sixty, but they are not labeled as retired, so they have to continue their service till their end of life.
Who supports those people?
Of course, they depend mainly on their progenies in a joint family.
Their needs are limited and also most of them lead a healthy life because of their life style.
Time and again, the issue of the rural graying population has been raised to get their share.
But, the politicians turn a deaf ear to those demands.
Sooner or later it's going to be a serious issue to back fire.
Thus a rapidly ageing population is giving rise to its own worrying challenges.
Engaging where ever possible would be one of the sensible things one can think of.
