What do you think?

Sometimes i see some old persons travelling on cycle and carrying newspaper or milkbottles to supply our needs or a sick rickshaw puller.Do you think it's right that inspite of so much unemployment in india,young ones don't want to do such works or families of old persons are not ready to support them in their end days.

Update:

or youngsters ego is hurt by doing such work and they will like to remain idle inspite of doing something to earn their livelihood.

    Unfortunately, there isn't a well-established social security system set in place so that the elderly will not be forced to work into old age...if some kind of voucher system was created so that persons over a certain age, such as 65 yrs, would receive a 'stipend' of sorts to support basic living needs, the incidence of poverty among the elderly might decrease dramatically.

    No I dont think its right. The young ones should be doing the work and older people staying home.
