Purpose The steady rise in aged population has brought many challenges such as social, economic and health care that confront of the older people in their later life. The purpose of this study is to understand the nature of challenges among the older people and to assess the role of social security programmes for the welfare of the older people. The qualitative descriptive research has been applied in this paper. Design/methodology/approach The qualitative descriptive research has been applied in this paper. The study was conducted in a sample of 220 elderly living in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, using purposive sampling. The study was based on interviews. The order of questions and samples depended on the information flow during the interviews. The purposes of using the qualitative descriptive research in the present study are to satisfy the researcher’s curiosity and desire for better understanding to discuss the challenges faced by older people (these challenges are social vulnerability, poor economic conditions, poor health and no familiarity with government programmes), to understand the practicability of the study in extensive way and to explain why any phenomenon occurs or why older people face problems in later life. Findings The first finding demonstrates that the different challenges among older people such as social, economic and health challenges are affecting their way of life and sense of well-being and are fracturing their social bonds from the family and society. The second finding indicates that only 46.3% older people are benefitted from government pension programmes schemes. While the numbers of older people are unknown from other government welfare programmes such as health programmes, concession for older people and maintenance and welfare of parent and senior citizen act are not able to work properly due to lack of awareness and lack of proper communication between older people and government bodies.

Alternative investment schemes are one of financial intermediaries through which funds are pooled<br />together for the purpose of investment in various financial assets which are normally managed by<br />professional managers. One such avenue in Kenya is investing through a unit trust fund. It is therefore<br />important for an investor utilizing one of these managers to evaluate how well the fund has done relative<br />to other funds and that of the benchmark. However, these performances were affected by numerous<br />factors. It was on the above footing that the research is focused on evaluating the importance of key<br />factors that affect its performance. The research employed descriptive research design mainly cross<br />sectional and longitudinal research to achieve the objectives. The target population was all the eleven<br />unit trust funds in Kenya. The study used both primary and secondary data. As a source of primary data,<br />structured questionnaires and scheduled interview were used. The key factors were analyzed using factor<br />analysis and multiple regressions to establish the importance of these factors in determining funds’<br />performance. The finding was that the factors that affect performance of funds in Kenya were classified<br />into five categories namely foreign investment participation, online trading, experience, age and equity<br />risk. The main factors affecting equity funds performance were experience, age and online trading only<br />while none of these factors were significant in influencing the blended funds’ performance. The<br />prospective investors must therefore be mindful about these factors while weighing their investment<br />proposals.

AbstractObjective:Emigrants face a high level of food insecurity. There is a wide research gap in the domain of identifying the determinants and problems of dietary acculturation in the context of emigrant students. This article attempts to study the factors affecting the dietary acculturation of African emigrant students in India.Design:For conducting a first-of-its-kind study for African emigrant students in India, we used field survey method, and the primary data were collected using a pre-structured questionnaire.Setting:This was a field survey conducted in Punjab (a state of India).Participants:One hundred and twenty African emigrant students participated in the survey.Results:Results of logistic regression indicated that food awareness (P = 0·027) and food suitability (P = 0·043) were the major determinants of dietary acculturation. Lack of familiarity and lack of proximity to food access points are the major problems faced by the African emigrant students. African emigrant students prepared for dietary acculturation largely only after coming to India. There is a significant positive correlation (P = 0·013) between problems faced by the respondents and tendency to prepare for acculturation after coming to India.Conclusions:Information regarding local food environment plays a significant role in dietary acculturation. There is a pertinent need to educate emigrant students regarding food availability and access by developing suitable educational content.

The study is aimed at finding out the nutritional status of pre-school children with relation to occupation, annual income and education status of their parents. The study is based on descriptive research design. Weight for height, height for age, and weight for age were the main areas of nutritional status of children which were measured using primary data only. The study has been carried out in Ward no 9, 10 and 11 of Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolis, Kaski. There were 15 pre-schools in the study area. Among them, 6 pre-schools were taken by the convenient sampling method and from each pre-school 20 children were chosen by the lottery method. Their parents were also included in the population of the study. The study reveals that the majority of the respondents are engaged in different services in Nepal and the nutritional status of their children was found better than Nepal's national nutritional standard. The children, whose parents have yearly income of 2 to more than 6 lakhs, have better nutritional status. Likewise, in this study, not a single mother is illiterate; it has been revealed that the mother's educational standard is the reason behind children's poor nutritional status.Journal of Health Promotion Vol.6 2008, p.18-22
