Crossing the century mark is all set to become common for India’s growing population.
A Landmark UN report on “ageing in the 21st century,” says India is at present home to between 11,000 and 20,000 centenarians . But this number is all set to rocket to anywhere between 1.5 Lakh and 6.2 Lakh by 2050.
The report brought out jointly by United Nation’s population Fund “UNFPA “ and Help Age International, says India will beat China hands down in the number of centenarians . China is expected to have 2.62 Lakh persons aged one hundred or over by 2050. Globally, the number of centenarians is projected to increase to 3.2 million in 2050.
The maximum life span refers to the largest number of years lived by any individual that has been confirmed on the basis of actual data.
The UN says this number increased from 103 in 1798 to 110 years in 1898, 115 years in 1990, and 122.45 years in 1997, when the French woman who held the record died.
