India Faces Growing Elderly Population and Emerging Challenges in Elder Care
India's elderly population is rapidly increasing, projected to reach nearly 347 million by 2050, making one in five Indians over 60. This demographic shift coincides with social changes like nuclear families, migration, and more women working, leading to challenges in elder care and caregiving. Experts highlight the need for policies promoting age-friendly workplaces, social security, and healthcare to harness the potential of older adults and address affordability, quality, and regulation in elder-care services.
