Niti Aayog Proposes National Policy to Address India's Growing Caregiving Needs
India faces a growing elderly population, projected to reach 347 million by 2050, straining traditional family-based caregiving due to urbanization, migration, and increased female workforce participation. The Niti Aayog proposes a national caregiving policy to standardize training, certify caregivers, and provide social security. Current caregiving is largely informal and fragmented, with formal services mainly in cities and often unaffordable. The policy aims to build a sustainable care system that supports families and offers dignified employment for caregivers.
