it is easy to ignore the fact that India is also home to a very large number of aged in absolute terms and that by 2027, it will have over 170 million people above 60 years of age, almost double of what we have today.
============================
According UN, Indian life expectancy is 60-62 years old. The number of people who can live to the age 0f 60 is not big. So, India has no luck to care 170 million people above 60 years of age.

Chinese life expectancy is 71-73
Russian 70-72
Brasil 71-73
