Abstract	The vulnerability and destitution of elderly persons substantially increased with poverty. This article attempts to study ageing and poverty in the Dhemaji district of Assam. Known for regular floods, the population of this district is prone to poverty and hence vulnerable. This vulnerability exponentially increases in the case of elderly persons. The complex relationship between poverty and ageing shows how ageing can be the cause of poverty, along with the fact that poverty pushes elderly persons into vulnerable situations. The sociological understanding of ageing and poverty examines the multiple sociological factors associated with elderly persons and their impact on the causes and consequences of poverty.
