Abstract

DOI: https://doi.org/10.32444/IJSW.2018.79.1.83-98 Rapid changes in socioeconomic patterns have weakened social bonding within the family, impacting way of life and sense of wellbeing, resulting in the lack of respect, deprivation and low status of the elderly in the family. The study examines the linkage between social bonding and familial dynamics of the elderly. The study uses the mixed methods approach and has been designed as an exploratory lead-in to a planned wider study. The findings of the study show that family members prefer to lead their own lives without any concern for the emotional, physical and personal needs of their old parents. The study has also found that the gradual nuclearisation of joint families, changes in value system and erosion of morality have weakened social bonding with the elderly.

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Social Work (IJSW) is the flagship publication of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and is brought out by its Publications Unit. Published every January, April, July and October, the TISS entered its 77th year of uninterrupted publishing, a record in journal publishing, in 2016. The first issue of the IJSW was brought out in June 1940. It focussed on two aspects of Child Welfare - Children in Industry and Juvenile Delinquency. The main objectives of the IJSW are to: cater to the need for literature on social work, and be a medium of dissemination of indigenous work being carried out in the country. Over the years, the IJSW has kept pace with changing perspectives and developments in the field of social work and social work education. The IJSW has brought out over 50 Special/Focus issues since 1940.
