Addressing the Vulnerability of the Elderly Population in Bangladesh

Saiyedatun Nesa
Paper Presentation in a Themed Session

Population ageing is an emerging global challenge, exacerbated by increasing life expectancy and declining fertility rates. Bangladesh, like many countries, is experiencing demographic ageing, with 9.21% of its population currently over 60 years of age. The growth rate of the elderly population is more than three times higher than the overall population growth, and projections suggest that by 2050, one in five people in Bangladesh will be elderly. This demographic shift presents significant social and economic challenges, including a reduced working-age population, increased demand for healthcare, and higher pension and social security costs. If these issues are not addressed, they may undermine the country's fiscal stability and economic growth. This paper examines the vulnerability of Bangladesh's elderly population and proposes potential solutions. Through qualitative and quantitative research methods, including literature reviews, stakeholder analysis, and surveys, the paper identifies key factors such as social isolation, economic insecurity, and health challenges that contribute to elderly vulnerability. Four policy options were evaluated, with the establishment of senior centers emerging as the most feasible solution. These centers would provide a range of services, including health programs, skill training, and community engagement, to improve the physical and mental well-being of elderly citizens. The paper outlines an action plan for the implementation of this policy, emphasizing the need for collaboration between the government, community organizations, and the private sector. Effective implementation could enhance elderly well-being, reduce healthcare costs, and support Bangladesh's development goals, including those outlined in the SDGs and the 8th Five-Year Plan.
