註釋

The study focuses on the impact of the old age pension or rechristened (Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme), a national Old Age Pension Scheme in India on the livelihoods of the poor tribal elderly people in the north-east Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The major objective of the study was to assess whether the pension fund has been helpful in meeting the aged people's needs, and its potential as a transformative force in their livelihoods. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to gather the relevant data, the study found that the pension has had an impact on the livelihoods of the pensioners in that it takes them out of poverty. It was further revealed that the old age pension has restored the tribal elderly people's pride in the society as it has been helpful in the reconstruction of household bonds and relations.
