National Photo Competition: The Working Elderly The Hindu, in association with Birkbeck, University of London, and the Centre for Law Policy and Human Rights Studies, #Chennai, announces a national #photo competition ‘The Working #Elderly’. Judges: Aruna Roy (Social Activist), Rajiv Menon (Film Maker and Cinematographer), D. Krishnan (Photo Editor, The Hindu) For details: thehindushutterbug/ Research undertaken by Birkbeck, University of London, and the Centre for Law, Policy and Human Rights Studies, Chennai, has found that elderly people work in every sector of Chennai’s economy, particularly in low-paid work. Typically their work is invisible or denigrated and their status as workers is unacknowledged. Research into the work of the elderly people across the country is negligible — generally because it is assumed that old people are not working. The aim of the contest is to reverse this situation by uncovering the work of the elderly people across the country, revealing the diversity of their work and demonstrating their contribution to family, society and economy through their determination and endurance. This is your chance to get involved in making the elderly’s work visible. Let’s get them the recognition they deserve by showing them in positive light. Submit pictures, vote for the pictures you like and share them on social media. Encourage everyone you know to participate with photo entries or as voters. Spread the word and turn this competition into a people’s research project. thehindu/features/magazine/zooming-in-on-the-elderly/article4862886.ece
