Senior citizens are increasingly finding themselves financially insecure, pushing them to want to work as long as possible, a survey by HelpAge India, across 22 cities in the country, found.
However, the survey, Bridge the Gap: Understanding Elder Needs, revealed that senior citizens in Bengaluru were relatively financially secure, probably owing to more elders working.
The report was released by Halappa Achar, Minister for Women and Child Development, Empowerment of Differently Abled and Senior Citizens on the occasion of ‘World Elder Abuse Awareness Day’ on Wednesday.
