Additionally, the average growth rate for Indians aged 60 and above is three times higher than the overall population growth rate of the country.”

“We found that older men, those in the higher age groups, those currently married, and those who were educated, report higher life satisfaction than their peers.

Lower satisfaction with living arrangements, perceived discrimination, and poor self-rated health were important factors associated with low life satisfaction among older Indians,” the report said while talking about the top three predictors related to life satisfaction.
