Ageing population is the major challenge worldwide. Falling birth rate and slowing down in mortality rate has raised the concern about financial protection of ageing population. According to World Bank data (2018) age dependency ratio for India is 50%. Age dependency ratio is the ratio between dependents (less than 15 years and more than 64 years) to working age population. And there is an increase trend in old age dependency ratio every year from 1961 to 2011 (MOSPI 2016). As per the latest survey (2011),this ratio is 14.2%. The old age dependency ratio is the ratio of old age non-working who are dependent to working age group. The increase in dependency ratio indicates there is an increase trend of senior citizen population in near future. In 2050 India population aged over 60 would be 300 million (CRISIL report 2015).
The NSSO survey also revealed that 90 percent of economically independent person having one or more dependent in family. Factors like dependency ratio, number of dependents trigger for a concrete retirement plan for individual during working age. Financial security provides a universal safety against financial shocks. A person can work and earn for certain period. After that he will retire but his day to day expenses will continue.
