摘要：

For women specifically, ageing has added problems of institutionalized gender hierarchies deeply ingrained in their cultures. This paper related issues of ageing in India to a feminist discourse on gender inequality and hierarchies and social norms rooted in patriarchy. The conclusion to this analysis is that serious and urgent efforts have to be made to address issues of gender imbalance in society and to better understand the problems of an ageing population which is now leading to a feminization of ageing.
