Abstract

Developments in the field of medicine and technology in our day, early diagnosis and treatment of diseases’ becoming possible thanks to these developments, improvements in standards of living, decrease in fertility rate, extension of expected life time result in aging of world population. Aging world population brings problems on old age into agenda. One of these problems is elderly abuse and negligence. Being a new subject matter for our country which was previously seen as a taboo throughout the world and started being paid necessary attention nowadays, elderly abuse is called as “all kinds of violent conducts directed to elders by relatives or other caregivers”. This study aims at assessing the situation in Turkey and world on the issue of elderly abuse and negligence and to set forth a projection concerning old age on the basis of demographic data in Turkey.
