India's Elderly Population is projected to double by 2050 and surpass the number of children, according to the United Nations Population Fund. The number of people aged 60 and above will increase from 149 million in 2022 to 347 million in 2050. By 2046, the elderly in India will outnumber children aged 0 to 14 years old, and there will be a decline in people aged 15 to 59 years old. The rise in India's aging population will pose socio-cultural and economic challenges, particularly for elderly widowed women in rural areas who face isolation and limited support.
