Human rights of the elderly people are increasingly being violated because of the "popularity of nuclear and small families, lack of intergenerational interaction, and non-existence of an inclusive social security system".


This has been the finding of a study conducted by Agewell Foundation on 5,000
senior citizens across India. The study report was released on Sunday on the occasion of International Human Rights Day.


The report also mentions that almost 86% of senior citizens are unaware of their human rights and only 68.8% have access to necessary medicines and healthcare. The situation is worse in urban areas.
