Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI)
Data are lacking on the health, social support, and economic security of India’s growing elderly population, and concern is mounting about the well-being of this expanding group. By assembling a research team of demographers, economists, medical doctors, sociologists, and public health and policy experts, LASI aims to supply the data needed to take stock of the situation of India’s elderly population. It is hoped https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/pgda/major-projects/lasi-2/ that this evidence base will contribute to cross-national studies of aging and will inform the design of policies that can protect and support the growing elderly community.
