In twenty one century the old age people are facing the problem of loneliness. It depends on several factors e.g. social circles, single families, busy life style of their own family members, ageing effects, emotional imbalance, physical and mental health. The present study is to find out the effect of ageing on perceived Loneliness of old age people. The sample consists of 200 people, out of which 100 are of 40-45 age of group and 100 are of 60-65 age of group. The data is collected from the jodhpur city. Level of perceived loneliness is measured through Loneliness Scale developed by Praveen Kumar Jha (1997). The data were obtained and analyzed by means of ‘t’-test. It was found that there is a significant difference in the level of perceived loneliness between the old age people and adults. The result shows that the old age people are facing loneliness due to living alone, lack of close family ties and reduce connections with their family and friends, which result in an inability to actively participate in the community activities.
