India Faces Rapid Ageing Population and Growing Senior Employment Interest
India's population is ageing rapidly, with projections showing those aged 60 and above rising from 10.5% in 2022 to 20.8% by 2050, totaling around 347 million people. This demographic shift presents challenges for healthcare systems designed for acute illnesses rather than chronic, multi-condition care common among seniors. Additionally, there is growing interest in employment beyond traditional retirement age, prompting government efforts to facilitate job opportunities for older adults. Addressing ageing with dignity and inclusion remains a key concern.
