Kerala needs to focus on the challenges posed by an increasingly ageing population in the midst of a demographic transition that has seen fertility levels falling below the replacement level and life expectancy remaining at 75 years. The State must draw up long-term strategies to face a situation in which there is a decline in the working population or the young, says a recent study by the Centre for Socio-Economic and Environmental Studies in Kochi.

Kerala society is increasingly becoming an ageing society. The share of the young workforce (aged 20-34 years) in the working-age population has come down from 50% in 1991 to 39% in 2011. Census-based population projections indicate that the downward movement will continue in the coming years. The decline in the young workforce leads to a shortage of labour, especially for physical works as well as semi-skilled works.

Demographic transition means a significant change in the population composition of a community of people. Such a transition had an early onset in the State. Decadal population growth was 5 per cent during 2001-2011 period. The situation has created some unique challenges, says Baishali Goswami, associate fellow at CSES, who led the study.
