ECCV’s literature review examines the risk factors contributing to elder abuse, including ageism, cultural norms and beliefs, unemployment, poverty, and inadequate welfare systems.
Elder abuse affects many older Australians, particularly those from migrant and refugee backgrounds.
However, little is known about the underlying drivers, associated risk factors and impacts, and the contexts in which elder abuse occurs in these communities.
ECCV’s literature review examines the risk factors contributing to elder abuse, including ageism, cultural norms and beliefs, unemployment, poverty, and inadequate welfare systems.
The findings of this review suggest that people from migrant and refugee backgrounds experience multiple and unique forms of disadvantage that place them at greater risk of elder abuse.
