| Summary/Abstract |
The prevalence of disability in activities of daily livings is higher among Indian elderly as compared to other ageing countries in Asia. This study provides an overview of the prevalence of disability by gender and region (rural and urban) among the tribal elderly in West Bengal, India. Cross-tabulation method was employed to examine the pattern of tribal ageing disability in all 19 districts of West Bengal. Based on Census 2011 data, the study showed that prevalence of disability among tribal elderly was significantly higher than general elderly population. The study also validated the low socio-economic and vulnerable condition of the ethnic groups in different districts of the State. The governments should implement the public health policies to reduce the burden of disability by providing healthcare services, education and social and economic security particularly to the rural tribal elderly disabled people for their better quality of life.

| Summary/Abstract |
Demographic and technological changes are two megatrends set to transform labour markets around the world. These shifts are already under way and are expected to accelerate, particularly in East and Southeast Asia, which is home to the world's oldest and fastest-ageing societies and a region with an enviable pace of economic development. Yet for some countries, demographic ageing is coinciding with a slowdown in productivity and economic growth. While each of these phenomena has been extensively researched, the study of the interactions between them is often incidental and rarely carried out in the Asian setting. This article explores the plausible channels of these interactions and assembles evidence of links between age and productivity at the individual, firm and country levels, drawn from both Asian and global settings. Findings have shown that there are many knowledge gaps, both in data and modelling, which need to be addressed to inform the major policy interventions required to successfully manage these transitions.
