Abstract

The elderly population in India is rapidly increasing, projected to rise from 138 million in 2021 to 194 million by 2031, a 41% increase (National Statistical Office, 2021). This growth presents significant socio-economic challenges, including healthcare costs and pension liabilities. This study explores the ethical and legal issues faced by elderly individuals, identifies barriers to accessing services, and examines attitudes limiting legal action. Using a literature review and conference participation, key findings indicate a lack of understanding of legal rights and distrust in their enforcement among the elderly. Many view the legal system as oppressive, deterring them from seeking legal remedies. High legal costs, technological barriers, and inadequate support services exacerbate these issues. Ethical concerns such as autonomy, informed consent, and equitable care highlight the need for clear guidelines to protect elderly rights. Recommendations include disseminating high-quality resources in multiple languages, leveraging media and teleconferencing for remote areas, and involving community organizations in advocacy. Establishing professional legal provisions tailored to the elderly is crucial to provide necessary guidance and support. The study contributes to existing literature by offering insights into the legal and ethical challenges in elderly care, particularly in developing countries like India. It emphasizes the need for policies and practices that support ethical decision-making and legal protections for the elderly. Future research should refine these strategies and explore additional measures to enhance the well-being and rights of elderly individuals.
