Annotation | The population aged 60+ in Nepal has increased at a faster rate (3.4%) than the population as a whole (2.24%). This article outlines the main demographic changes for Nepal since 1961, and comments on the societal implications of ageing for the family, care services and the economy. It recommends ways in which older people's needs are met in order to live a dignified life. (RH). |
