The share of India’s population ages 60 and older is projected to climb from 8 percent in 2010 to 19 percent in 2050, according to the United Nations Population Division (UN 2011). By mid-century, India’s 60 and older population is expected to encompass 323 million people, a number greater than the total U.S. population in 2012. This profound shift in the share of older Indians—taking place in the context of changing family relationships and severely lim-ited old-age income support—brings with it a variety of social, economic, and health care policy challenges. This e-newsletter highlights some of the recent research by NIA-supported investigators and others that can inform policy decisions as India and other developing countries plan for aging societies. Also included in this newsletter are findings from the recent pilot phase of the nationally representative Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI).
