Our lifestyle has undergone dramatic changes over the previous decades with different cultures influencing one another. Today, western culture is influential among the new generation seeking an independent life without the burden of having to look after their old parents. In Nepal, old age was never a problem. Elderly people were venerated and their abuse was considered a Western problem. Old-age homes were alien concepts. Now, times have changed and older people are treated more like a liability.
With the fragmentation of the joint family into nuclear units, respect for the elderly people has eroded. Parents are now seen as a burden by their children. The breakup of the joint family system and introduction of the nuclear family has created this unhappy situation, and the elderly are bearing the brunt of this changed scenario. The aged are spending their twilight years in isolation and misery while old-age homes are growing in the country to cater to the needs of the elderly.
The sole motivation these days seems to be making money, with both spouses opting to go out of the house and earn. As a result, the old parents are left behind with no one to take care of them. I am not trying to imply that people should stop earning, but they do need to try to balance their professional and personal lives. Despite great sacrifices made by the parents for their beloved children, old-age homes are becoming the unfortunate destination for many old people.
