India Ageing Report 2023 focuses on the institutional arrangements that support the implementation of the National Policy for Older Persons in India. The last policy was published in the year 1999. The report pools together existing knowledge on population ageing in India and maps senior-centric activities carried out by governmental and non-governmental organizations working with the elderly.
The impending rise in the 60+ population in India in the coming decades will have significant implications for the health sector, the economy, and the society. Building on its earlier edition in 2017, the India Ageing Report 2023 re-examines the conditions of older persons in the country, based on the most recent data and attempts to map institutional responses to stepping up the quality of elder care in the country. It focuses on the responses from the government, community-based organizations and associations of older persons, efforts by the corporate houses under the corporate social responsibility mandate, and measures taken for the care for older persons during the COVID-19 pandemic. Special mention of All India Senior Citizens’ Confederation (AISCCON) and other affiliations is heartening. In canvassing the utilization of elder care services in India, making suggestions for strengthening schemes and programmes and suggesting the way forward, the report will be immensely useful for scholars, policy and programme managers and stakeholders in elder care, which includes all of us.
This report is published by International Institute for Population Sciences and United Nations Population Fund through their joint efforts.
