Abstract

The present study investigates the social problem and expectations of elderly citizens in Jorhat district of Assam. A total of 400 elderly citizens were selected for the present study from five wards of Jorhat Municipality Board under Jorhat sub-division. A multistage random sampling procedure was followed for the present study. It was found that most of the respondents faced problems related to less elderly friendly public places (35.50%) and majority (40.75%) of the respondents expected the society to create separate clubs, association and other social networks catering to the need of the elderly people. It was further found from the results of the Chi square test that three variables i.e., age, family type and previous occupation shows a significant relationship (p<0.05) with the social problems of the respondents. In case of expectations of the elderly from the society, there was a significant relationship (p<0.05) between respondents’ educational status, family type and previous occupation.
