💨 Abstract

India's elderly population is projected to double by 2050, comprising one-fifth of the population. Despite making up 16% of voters, senior citizens are neglected. With increased life expectancy and declining fertility, the aging population needs specialized care and services. Currently, lack of infrastructure in joint families and non-nuclear households results in increased unpaid domestic labor, particularly for women, hindering their employment and education.
