Although population aging is regarded as a worldwide priority, research in this field is in its infancy in Nepal. The older population of that country is increasing both in terms of absolute numbers and as a proportion of the total population; however, traditional family norms and values of supporting the elderly are eroding. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief introduction to population aging as it exists in Nepal through secondary census and survey data for the purpose of further research and inquiry.
