Summary
NITI Aayog suggests a dedicated policy framework for India's growing ageing population. It calls for regulating the caregiving ecosystem and setting essential caregiving standards. The report proposes financial incentives and entrepreneurship opportunities for caregivers to boost scalability. It also recommends introducing care leave for employees supporting dependent parents. Establishing a National Caregiving Council will provide institutional leadership and coordination.
