Country Nepal
Abstract Jeeunibhag is a share in the ancestral property conferred on the person for his/her maintenance, in lieu of the ancestral share. There is the existing practice of providing Jeeunibhag to senior citizens during property partition in Nepali society. This research tends to explore the understanding of the concept of JeeuniBhag among senior citizens, the existing practice system, and changes in the life of senior citizens due to Jeeunibhag. This research paper is prepared by following a descriptive research design among twenty participants in Makawanpur district of Nepal. This research used both primary and secondary sources of information and interviews were conducted of senior citizens and key informants using the qualitative method of data collection. While many factors determine aging care, Jeeunibhag is also found to be one of the dominant factors for senior citizens. Provision of Jeeunibhag were found to be empowering senior citizen providing social and financial security to them which could be used as a better negotiating instrument against family members to receive senior citizen care services. However, Jeeunibhag also brings several adverse effects in the lives of senior citizens as friction in family relationships, loneliness, and a decrease in freedom of decision-making. From this research, it is hoped that senior citizens, policy makers in local government, and future researchers will get a clear picture of JeeuniBhag in the context of Makawanpur district and preserves the best practice of Jeeunibhag to ensure better ageing care services for family and government level.
