The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) reveals that the elderly population (60 years and older) has increased almost 10 times in the past six decades from a little over 213,477 in 1960 to 1,991,736 in 2021. Of these, 43.3% are males and 56.7% are females.
This paper highlights the need and proffers solutions to evolve an elderly care model that takes cognizance of our social structures, ensures dignity is preserved in old age, and minimizes the potential for elderly abuse while creating sustainable jobs for caregivers with the requisite skills.
