Two data sets from a sample of university students and rural, middle aged people in India, are used to assess the attitudes of two age groups toward the elderly. The results indicate that the student youth, the respondents not living with old people in their families, men, respondents belonging to disadvantaged sections of the society, and those from low income groups hold more negative attitudes.
