DUE TO HECTIC SCHEDULE AND BUSSY LIVES YOUNGSTERS ARE DETACHING FROM THEIR PARENTS, THIS LEADS TO THE AGEING DEMOGRAPHIC IS OFTEN LEFT UNATTENDED. MOREOVER, YOUNG MINDS OF THE SOCIETY ARE PARTICIPATING IN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES INSTEAD OF ELERCARE. HOWEVER, IN MY OPINION SOME MAJOR CAUSES ARE THEIR TO THIS PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO HELP CARE FOR THE ELEDERLY ARE DISCUSSED IN THE FOLLOWING ESSAY.
A FUNDAMENTAL ROOT CAUSE IS MIGRATION OF THE ADULTS TO DIFFERENT PLACES REGARDING THEIR STUDIES AND JOBS. AS A RESULT, AGING POPULATION INADVERTENTLY LEFT BEHIND NO ONE TO CATER TO THEIR DAILY NEEDS ONCE THEIR CHILDREN LEAVE HOME. FOR INSTANCE, IN INDIA ALMOST EVERY HOUSEHOLD IS WITNESS TO THE AGED GRADUALLY WITHERING AWAY NOT ONLY DUE TO A MYRIAD ILLNESSES THAT OLD AGE BRINGS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE CHIDREN WHO ARE UNWILLING TO LIVE ALONG WITH THEM. ANOTHER MAJOR CAUSE IS THE YOUTH PREFERING NUCLEAR FAMILY INSTEAD OF JOIN. REGARDING THIS SENIOR CITIZENS ARE NEGLETED BY THEIR FUTURE GENERATION, THEREFORE PARENTS MOVING AS FAR AS TO THEM AND LIVING IN OLD AGE HOMES. THIS CONSTITUTE A FEW OF THE POSSIBLE CAUSES BEHIND THE ELDERLY LEADING THEIR LIVES UNNOTICED AND UNLOVED.
ON THE OTHER HAND, ALTHOUGH A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM MAY SEEM FAR-FETCHED. YOUNGSTERS SHOULD HIRE CARETAKERS TO TAKE OF THEIR GARDIANS ALONG WITH THAT PARENTS MAY FEEL BETTER FROM STREES BY COMMUNICATING AND PARTICIPATING IN MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITIES WITH CARETAKERS SUCH AS COOKING, GARDENING, AND CLEANING. PRIME EXAMPLE, MANY PEOPLE IN USA HIRE CARETAKERS TO AVOID HEALTH ISSUES OF AGED POPULATION, WHICH IS A REAL CAUSE BY LONELYNESS. IN ADDITION TO THIS YOUNGSTERS MUST SPEND TIME WITH THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER BY VISTING RETIREMENT HOME OR BY TAKING THEM OUT ONCE IN A WEEK. THIS ARE SOME OF THE POSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS.
TO CONCLUDE, PEOPLE NEED TO BE ALTERNATIVE TO THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEINGS/NEEDS OF THEIR GARDIANS DURING OLD AGE ALONGSIDE THEIR COMMITMENTS, WHICH CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY HIRING CARETAKERS AND MORAL STANDARDS IN THE HEARTS OF THE YOUNG GENERATION.
