The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

India is aging faster than anticipated, with its median age projected to rise to about 38 years by 2050, potentially impacting its consumption-driven growth model and requiring a shift towards a 'silver economy'. This demographic transition could reshape migration, labor markets, and economic policy across the country.
