Conclusion -- . 330 $aThe book provides an interesting analysis of the time-use data to examine the extent to which active ageing is occurring in India. It also synthesizes data from the National Sample Survey Office All India Survey and another survey undertaken in Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, and Ranchi (capital cities of East Indian states) to examine the role of the aged in the Indian Society. Nearly all countries in the world are experiencing an important issue of ageing. India faces its own set of challenges with its aging population due to the absence of a social security system?the shifting family dynamics questions the contribution of the elderly to the family in every aspect. Econometric models have been used in the book to study gender differences and variations across socio-economic conditions, correlating them to the contribution of the aged to their families and the extent of active ageing. The book broadens the understanding on the aged and facilitates their integration in the society so that they can age more actively. Active Ageing and Labour Market Engagement offers an analytical perspective to professionals, researchers, and policy makers interested in gerontology. 606 $aOlder people$xEmployment$zIndia 606 $aOlder people$vEconomic conditions 606 $aOlder people$zIndia, Northeastern$vEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xEmployment 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aOlder people 676 $a305.26 700 $aHusain$b Zakir$0935765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370043103321 996 $aActive ageing and labour market engagement$92108057 997 $aUNINA
