"Situation Analysis of the Elderly in India", June 2011. (1)

About KNOWLEDGE BASE on AGEING POPULATION in INDIA : 
REPORT : "Situation Analysis of the Elderly in India", June 2011; Central Statistics Office Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, Government of India.




"In   India   the   size   of   the   elderly   population ,   i . e .   person s   above   the   age   of  60   years   is   fast   growing   although   it   constituted   only   7 . 4%   of   total   population   at  the   turn   of   the   new   millennium .   

For   a   developing   country   like  India,   this   may  pose   mounting   pressures  on   various   socio   economic   fronts   including   pension  outlays,   health   care   expenditures ,  fiscal discipline,  savings   levels   etc. 


Again  this   segment   of   population   faces   multiple  medical   and   psychological   problems.  


There   is   an   emerging   need  to   pay   greater   attention  to   ageing -  related   issues  and   to   promote   holistic   policies   and   programmes  for   dealing   with   the  ageing    society ."
