The findings reveal that such senior-friendly supports sustainable development by creating demand for age- specific products and services, while generating jobs in the design, construction, maintenance. In order to promote healthy ageing and optimize the financial potential of the silver economy, this paper highlights the necessity of integrating universal design principles with senior- friendly housing policies can be adapted to India’s socio-economic and demographic context.
