Abstract :
Dependency and elderly are very much
related terms and both of the two concepts are now
emerging aspects of all over the world. Although both in
rural and urban areas of our country are not secure
from this problem but elderly and dependency
problems in rural areas are more vulnerable. This study
was a qualitative scrutiny in the field of sociology which
is mainly explored the dependency level and the
relationship among dependency and position (role and
status) of the rural elders in their family. A
methodological triangulation of data sources helped to
pick up information that was analyzed qualitatively as
well as statistically. A purposive and random sampling
procedure was followed in picking up information from
the sample units. The study depictured that in rural
area aged are very much dependent on their family and
somewhere on neighbor and relatives in their many
sectors. Nevertheless, affluent aged has less dependency.
Again, property and allowance also identify their
authority and position in their family and society too. In
this study the aged explicated that family support, social
consciousness, govt. allowance can be helpful to narrow
down the dependency problem and aged can take a
better position both in their family and society.
