Caregivers' support among India’s elderly: Findings from the longitudinal ageing study in India
This study examines the assistance provided by caregivers to the elderly in India who expressed dependence on BADL and IADL. As individuals become older, they experience a decrease in functional capacity and a higher dependence on others for BADL and IADL, necessitating further support and care. The results of this study underscore substantial deficiencies in addressing the requirements of caregivers for the ageing population in Indian society.
