Abstract: In both urban and rural communities throughout the country, there are senior citizens. They hold the viewpoint that in old age, they aspire to engage in various types of tasks and activities, which would facilitate the promotion of the well-being of family and community members. The functions and activities are put into operation in personal and professional lives. For example, when senior citizens prepare their favourite food items for family members in their personal lives, they experience feelings of pleasure and contentment. On the other hand, in their professional lives, they are involved in various tasks and activities that promote well-being and goodwill among community members. For example, in the education field, they still take classes and impart information on academic subjects and lesson plans to individuals, thereby rendering a productive contribution. Furthermore, senior citizens impart information on various subjects and concepts, which facilitates the emergence of moral and ethical human beings and productive citizens of the country. Therefore, it is widely acknowledged that the productive contributions of senior citizens are crucial in promoting the wellbeing of families and communities. The main concepts considered in this research paper are understanding the meaning and significance of productive contribution, identifying factors that highlight the productive contribution of senior citizens, and measures to be implemented in augmenting productivity among senior citizens.
