The State and its Social Security Agenda.

Presently, due to changing population dynamics and macro-economic reasons the social security program for the aged ones and the working classes in India is devoid of respect, compassion, and gratitude. In addition to the demographic pressure, the system is under strain and needs to be reform. Nowadays, there is also an increasing trend towards privatization of social security due to the rapid aging of the population and other socio-economic factors. Thus the social security agenda under the present system became confusing which again needs to be clarified. With the rapid transformation of social and economic structure, there is increasing pressure on the state to take suitable measures to provide social security with a focus on the elderly as well as the unorganized sector. Therefore the government agencies have to think twice to continue with the present system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
