India has the second highest population of elderly people in the world with 104 million people above the age of 60 years. Increasing life expectancy and a reduction in fertility rate are the chief causes of this. Between 2001 and 2011, India’s population grew by 17.7%, while the elderly population shot up by 35.5%. This led to a sharp increase in the old-age dependency ratio more elders per 100 persons in the age group of 15-59 (working age). Life expectancy of women in India, as observed in the entire world, is higher than men, as is their proportion. According to records from 2009-2013, life expectancy at birth for women was 69.3 years and for men 65.8 years. Chilling Facts 90% of the elderly have no official social security – no gratuity, no provident fund, no pension. 57% of the oldest old are widows or widowers – proportion of widowers higher than widows. Out of 82% of economically dependent elders, 72% suffer physical abuse, and resulting health problems. Around 52% of the elder population is living in poverty and very poor health conditions. Only 12% are aware of government elderly welfare schemes and only 5% are covered under health insurance. NGO involvement in elderly care is a meagre 3%.
