Kerala Grapples With Ageing Population

Kerala, known for its high life expectancy and quality of life, is now grappling with the consequences of a low fertility rate. The state's ageing population is putting a strain on its healthcare system, which is struggling to provide adequate care for the elderly. With a significant proportion of its population above the age of 60, Kerala is facing a daunting task in providing healthcare, social security, and other essential services to its senior citizens. The state government is exploring various options to address this issue, including increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure and promoting community-based care for the elderly.
