The gradual nuclearisation of traditional Indian joint families has significantly changed the way seniors look at their retirement planning and post-retirement living. Traditionally, in the joint family structure, seniors enjoyed a safety net of being cared for by the younger members of the family. But today, this safety net is gradually weakening with the nuclearisation of families. This trend is expected to continue in the years to come as nations across the world are experiencing a steady decline in population growth with the baby boomers now almost reaching the retirement age.
