Income support programmes for the older adults in South Asia: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

South Asian countries are ageing and experiencing a rapid increase in proportion of the older population. Income support programmes are of central importance for the older adults as they may help to mitigate the poverty risks associated with ageing and losing the ability to generate income from labour. Evidence related to the income support programmes can help in understanding whether the programmes have been impactful. This scoping review will map the evidence (and gaps) related to income support programmes and create a base to identify the feasibility of future primary research and/or the scope of systematic reviews in the areas where evidence is available.

Methods and analysis

The Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology will be followed. Eligibilit
