520			_aIn the backdrop of the rise of capitalism that led to a crisis in old care, this paper advances a theory of old care based on Amartya Sen’s analytical frame of capability and freedom. It unpacks the dimensions of care and characterizes old care from these in terms of aging. The definition and dimensions of old care are produced in a scenario where the life span of the elderly is seen as fluid, complex and heterogeneous and their freedom to make choice over functionings deemed essential. In the process, the paper both highlights and overcomes some of the serious drawbacks of the extant approaches to old care including those following the Utilitarian approach that underpins the state- and market-based solutions. – Reproduced
