Study Highlights Financial and Healthcare Challenges for Ageing Indian Migrants in Gulf
A study by the International Labour Organisation's STREAM Programme highlights financial insecurity, costly healthcare, and housing challenges faced by ageing Indian migrants in Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Many migrants, especially those who settled long-term, prefer to remain in the Gulf post-retirement, supported by their children. The study notes limited retirement savings coverage under India's EPFO for GCC workers and recommends GCC countries implement alternative end-of-service benefits and expand affordable elder care to align with international standards.
