India will no longer be a young nation after 26 years...?
India is referred to as the youth nation. This is a result of India's youthful population. Will the nation, however, always be a young nation? No. A recent analysis predicts that by 2050, india will be a nation of old people. A report titled 'Senior Care Reforms in India' was recently released by NITI Aayog. The Commission has also recommended to the government through this report how they ought to get ready for 2050. In light of this, let's examine why india is predicted to become a nation of old people by the year 2050 and whether the government is prepared to care for this growing senior population.
First, comprehend what is meant by the term "super-aged country."
Super-aged nations are ones in which the proportion of youth is quickly declining and over 20% of the population is over 65. Many nations throughout the world are already super-aged, and in the next few years, this may happen in some other countries as well, according to the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), an organization that studies seniors. Consider germany and japan as examples. One in five persons in these two nations is 65 years of age or older. America, Britain, France, and singapore will also fall into this category by 2030.
In its report, what was said about india by NITI Aayog?
As per the niti aayog research, the number of senior individuals in india is expected to rise by 3 percent year by 2050, when it is projected that there would be 30 crore 19 lakhs elderly persons in the country. Ten percent of India's population is senior citizens as of right now. This indicates that there are currently about 10 crore 40 lakh old individuals in India. However, by 2050, this percentage will rise to 19.5% of the entire population.
