Contextualising SDG Targets for the Senior Citizens in Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s journey of dual transition from a least developed country (LDC) to a developing country, and from a low-income country to a lower middle-income country–entails that it will need to design and pursue policies that are commensurate with the growing expectations of its citizens for better social welfare and a more economically secured life which reflect its economic achievements. The number of people over 60 years of age in Bangladesh is projected to constitute 20 per cent of total population by 2051.
