Irudaya and Retnakumar, J.960289 aPopulation crossovers and INDIA’s ageing dynamics aEconomic & Political Weekly  a61(9), Feb 28, 2026: p.40-45 aA profound shift is underway in global demographics, with one of the most prominent features being the rapid ageing of the population. India is riding this demographic wave too, fuelled by improvements in longevity and plummeting fertility rates, culminating in a growing share of the elderly. This paper examines India’s emerging ageing trajectory and identifies the potential age-crossover tipping points in the latter half of the 21st century. Though India is expected to move from its first demographic dividend to the second demographic dividend, or silver dividend, it is likely to generate substantial economic strains on the state exchequer for healthcare and social security.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/ageing-health-and-social-security/population-crossovers-and-indias-ageing-dynamics.html  aEconomic & Political Weekly  cAR 00102ddc40709408343aIIPAbIIPAd2026-04-28h61(9), Feb 28, 2026: p.40-45pAR138683r2026-04-28yAR
