Abstract

The aging population, constituting an essential and expanding sector of the worldwide populace, embodies a wellspring of knowledge, expertise, and tenacity. In the face of global demographic shifts characterized by an unparalleled rise in life expectancy, it becomes crucial to comprehend and cater to the distinctive requirements of the elderly. The term "elderly" refers to individuals who have progressed through diverse life stages, bringing with them a diverse array of experiences, obstacles, and achievements. This doctrinal research exclusively focuses on a comparative analysis of elderly laws in India, UK, and the USA. The study meticulously examines the statutory frameworks, legal provisions, and judicial precedents pertinent to aging populations in each jurisdiction. Through a meticulous review of primary legal sources, this research aims to identify similarities, divergences, and gaps within the legal frameworks of India, UK, and the USA concerning elderly rights and protections. The analysis is anchored in a doctrinal approach, emphasizing the interpretation and application of legal texts. By scrutinizing the doctrinal aspects of elderly laws, the purpose of this study is to offer an extensive comprehension of the lawful scene surrounding aging in these three jurisdictions. The outcomes of this study contribute to legal scholarship by offering insights into the doctrinal intricacies of elderly legislation, facilitating a nuanced comprehension of the legal dimensions of aging in distinct legal systems.
