Population Ageing is a global phenomenon whereby proportion of children in the population decreases and those of elderly person increases. This is the outcome of demographic transition. There has been noticed health improvements in the country when the shift from a young to an older age structure is observed along with the fact that individuals are reaching the older ages in exceptional numbers and with erratic needs and resources is likely to pose many policy challenges arising out of growing proportions of elderly and decreasing proportions of children. This tendency leads to a decreasing support base combined with higher levels of old age dependency. At the same time, the transition away from a young age structure is not uniform across the country. India is undergoing through the phase of demographic transition where reduction in fertility and mortality have resulted in population ageing. So, this paper is an attempt to study the demographic aspects of greying or ageing population in India. There is therefore a need to promote consonance between development and demographic change by growing the economic and social sources of sustenance for the elderly, among others. There are vast differences in both quantity and quality of statistics about the elderly population. This study focuses on the demographic aspects of greying population in India that is; it studies size and growth of elderly population, its dependency ratio and trends in sex ratio.
