India Addresses Elder Abuse and Expands Training for Elderly Caregivers
India faces growing challenges in elderly care as its senior population increases, with elder abuse often hidden and multifaceted, including neglect and financial misuse primarily by family members. Studies highlight vulnerability among women, widowed, rural residents, and those with health issues. Meanwhile, informal caregiving is widespread but lacks formal training. Recent government initiatives aim to establish structured caregiver training programs to support families and recognize caregiving as an economic activity, addressing the urgent need for a skilled workforce.
