| Annotation | Demographic data from the Census of India 1991, the United Nations (UN) "World demographic estimates and projections 1950-2025" and the US Bureau of Census' International Data Base illustrate this commentary on demographic trends in India, work participation, the determinants of population ageing, the old age dependency ratio, and older Indians' health status. Who will be responsible for the care of older people in India, bearing in mind factors such as demographic transition, a gradual disappearance of the traditional family support system, changing priorities of the younger generation, and women's increased participation in the work force?
