Sociological
ageing: Certain roles imposed
on people as they reach a certain chronological age. If the individual is
considered capable, even at the age of 60, more responsibilities are given to
him, but if he is not considered capable even at the age of 40, he might be
asked to retire if he is in a paid employment. If an individual is looked upon
as having outlived his usefulness, he is regarded by the society as physically
sexually economically and intellectually that is why people get retired from
jobs when their employees feel that they are aged.
