India's Ageing Population Highlights Challenges and Calls for New Elderly Care Approaches
India's ageing population is increasing demand for caregivers amid a shortage of trained workers, low wages, and poor working conditions, placing financial and emotional strain on families. Traditional family-based elderly care is under pressure due to nuclear families and migration, prompting calls for a new social contract involving communities, the state, and market solutions. Experts emphasize the need for professional recognition, better pay, structured training, and community support to ensure dignified and sustainable elderly care.
