Various age groups go through different social institutions. Toddlers head to pre-school, teenagers to high school, universities and eventually to work, whether as the bread earner or homemakers. With retirement, people enter a rare point of life wherein the norms vary from family to family, society to society and country to country. In some societies retired or older people tend to focus on travelling, some on pilgrimages. In India and around the world, with the rise of nuclear families, older people are moving into neighbourhoods or care homes that are focused on providing the required services for the said generation.
