Abstract
Elderly abuse is a pervasive social issue with significant implications for the well-being and dignity of older individuals. The aging population is increasing worldwide, and with it comes an increased risk of abuse and neglect of older adults. Elderly abuse is a complex issue with multiple causes such as social, economic, and cultural dynamics. The present research highlights the underlying factors, indicators, status of elderly abuse in India. It can occur in various settings, including within families, care facilities, or community environments. It encompasses various types of abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse, as well as neglect and abandonment. Addressing elderly abuse requires a multi-pronged approach involving individuals, communities, governments, and organizations to create a society that respects and safeguards the rights and dignity of older individuals.
