Examining effectiveness of social security system in india with regard to older population Kaushik Archana, Kumar Shubham Department of Social Work, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Online published on 23 December, 2020. Abstract The present paper appraises the social security system in India with the aim to see its effectiveness in reducing vulnerabilities and destitution among older people. With the advent of factors of social change like modernization, migration, change in family system and now globalization, have reduced the traditional informal systems of social security. Levels of awareness about various social security measures and issues related to accessing and availing them form part of the discussion in the paper. The paper highlights certain case studies to depict the deplorable conditions of older people in poverty who have not been able to avail benefits of government services. Using secondary data, gaps in existing social security system are put forth. Lastly, suggestive interventions have been presented so as to ensure rightful share of senior citizens on social resources and protection of their well-being.
