‘Poverty and the challenges of the elderly, is the 12th Poverty Brief produced by CEPA. This booklet attempts to provide an overview of the issues facing Sri Lanka,s ageing population and the challenges they face in a changing society. It looks at issues of health, income and access to services for the elderly as well as the support mechanisms available to them. In highlighting areas of concern for the nation, the brief also considers possible changes and improvements that could be made to assist those elderly who lack adequate means of support.
