Nowadays most people who have to take care of old people are not paying attention to them. Among many causes, family members and friends are the primary contributors. This issue can be countered with the help of authorities and workplaces.
One primary reason for not spending enough time with old men is long working hours. People usually have various types of jobs, it means they have different shifts at work. Consequently, they have little free time to be with their families besides working. For example, only at weekends they are able to spend enough time with their families at home or anywhere they wish.
Another contributing factor is moving abroad. Most people leave their families because of working or studying in different countries. It allows to interact with them once a month or after coming back. As a result, elderly people will become less sociable with people.
To address this issue, governments should take action. Firstly, they have to work with everybody equally, considering their situation, they have to create more flexible shifts and opportunities. Secondly, it is necessary to pay attention in educational sphere. If government provides with high quality of education and facilities for students, they will apply for the universities in their own countries. As a result, it allows a chance to spend enough time with their families.
In conclusion, working hours and moving abroad are the major factor behind this issue. Therefore, families and government must share responsibility for caring for older people.
