Most of them attended informal/Qur’anic education with haven attended secondary school and fewer haven attended tertiary. It also reveals that the respondents came from different places both within and outside Jos. It shows religious significance, income levels, type of housing and current health conditions of the respondents. The study also reveals the challenges the ageing population are facing with some having been harassed and some discriminated against for their age. It also provides suggestions on elderly contributions and how the ageing population can be best cared for. Chi-square was used to test the significance of the study. The study recommends good food/balanced diet, care, family support and community participation for the elderly will be a good way in looking after the ageing. Places of worship, NGOs and the government should help in providing for the old.</i></p><p><i>Keywords Population, Ageing, Elderly, Challenges, Characteristics, Family</i></p> <br><p></p>
