NITI Aayog has proposed a National Caregiving Policy, a regulatory council, and even a digital platform to connect caregivers with those in need. Why now? Because by 2050, India’s elderly population will nearly triple; from 149 million to 347 million. And with 26.8 million people living with disabilities, the demand for organized care is soaring. The report also highlights a global shortage of 11 million care workers by 2030; and India could become a top exporter of trained caregivers. Imagine this: a profession once seen as informal or unpaid, now gaining professional recognition, social security, and even global mobility. For job seekers; especially women, youth, or those in the gig economy; this could be a hidden goldmine. The care economy is projected to hit ₹72,000 crore by 2030. If you’ve ever considered a career in healthcare, elderly care, or even home services; now’s the time to look closer. This isn’t just policy; it’s a job revolution quietly unfolding.
