Lee, J. and Meijer, E.   aThe economic burden of dementia in India  aAEA Papers and Proceedings    a114, May, 2024: p.418-422  aThis paper provides the first estimate of the economic cost borne by Indian individuals living with dementia and their families based on nationally and state-wise representative data from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI). We found that the annual household cost attributable to dementia was $571. This is a significant figure, equivalent to 20 percent of annual healthcare spending by the Indian government. Our results identify important differences in cost components relative to high-income countries, emphasizing the need for culturally tailored interventions to support people living with the condition and their families in the Indian context.- Reproduced
