Not only world aged population is on rise, the aged population in Pakistan is also
on rise since the onslaught of demographic transition during the early 1990s. This
situation has posed many problems not only for the aged themselves but for the
relatives and families as well due to the changing socio-economic orders. Old age
is a natural phenomenon and every living organism has to undergo the process
that converges on a series of problems ranging from physical health to economic
poverty and loss of social status. Gone are the days when children and youngsters
were socially responsible for the upkeep of the elders. Now in poor countries like
Pakistan, this responsibility has to be shouldered by the states due to changing
cultural conditions and the dwindling grip of religion. This literature based article
points out to the growing problem of aging and ageism for which the policy
makers have to think promptly before the problem grows exponentially.
