The causes of concern for the elderly citizens are due to the fact that the family is the only supporting institution and with the change in preference of modern society to live in a nuclear family, the plight of these 60-plus citizens is becoming more and more worrisome. Government support for senior citizens in Nepal is extremely limited, which further increases their vulnerability, especially if they have been estranged from family members.
