Abstract :

Leisure activities is very important to the older population, since such activities could keep the body functioning and promote self–recognition. Therefore, this study was planned to study the socio personal characteristics of elderly women and to explore the leisure time activities of respondents. The study was conducted in the state of Punjab and two cities from each of the three cultural regions (Malwa, Doaba and Majha) of the state were randomly selected for the purpose. Results showed that more than 95 per cent of the elderly women used to do gossip, talk with their family members, worship and watch television during their free time.
