Investigations reveal that causes of problems of the elderly people range from remote to immediate. The remote causes include poor family living arrangement such as establishment of polygamous families, giving birth to so many children and not being able to give them appropriate up bringing at the time convenient to the parents. However it was also discovered that there are some cause which are directly under the control of nature. Such are causes of childlessness death of a spouse or children and family disputes of different natures. Beside the above mentioned causes, other discoveries were made which revealed that the immediate causes include loneliness, poor health condition and lack of medical treatment, poor finance, inadequate housing accommodation and a lot of others.
