There will not be a single youth left in India by 2050, know why NITI Aayog said this

NITI Aayog has released a worrying report for India, one of the youngest countries in the world. According to this report, by 2050, India will become a country of old people.

According to this NITI Aayog report, India's population aged 65 years and above will increase by 144 million people between now and 2050.

NITI Aayog has mentioned many interesting things in its report titled 'Senior Care Reforms in India'. The report aims to ensure that basic support systems are put in place to meet the needs of India's aging population. Which is expected to increase from 10 percent to 19.5 percent by 2050. The needs of an aging population of this size are challenging.

A highly aging country means a rapidly shrinking youth population. Under which more than 20 percent people are above 65 years of age. If we look at the report of the Gerontological Society of America, there are many countries in the world which have become quite old. Now India can reach the same situation in 26 years.

Japan comes first in Japan
, In the next 16 years, i.e. by 2040, Japan's elderly population will increase to 34.8 percent. The main reason for this is the rapid decline in birth rate.

Germany
Germany is in second place after Japan. According to population data of 2019, 21.8 percent of the country's population is 65 years of age or older. Here too the number of youth is decreasing rapidly. It is estimated that by 2050 the number of youth will reduce by 22.6 percent.

at number three It is China. Here the impact of the one child policy is clearly visible on the population. If fertility rate i.e. birth of children is not kept in mind then China will soon have an aging population and the youth will become extinct.

at number four Singapore is Singapore. The youth population is decreasing rapidly by the year 2026. In such a situation, it is clear that Singapore will fall into the category of extreme intellectuals.

The current population of India is more than 142 crores. Out of which 10 crore 40 lakh are elderly people. But by 2050 this number will increase to 19.5 percent of the total population. That means the number of elderly people will increase to 30 crore 19 lakh.
