Elderly Poverty
Elderly poverty refers to the condition experienced by older individuals who are living below the poverty line. This demographic faces financial hardship due to factors such as limited income, high healthcare costs, lack of affordable housing options, and inadequate social support systems. Elderly poverty can lead to struggles in meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare, as well as feelings of isolation and insecurity. Addressing the issue of elderly poverty often requires targeted policy interventions and support services to ensure that older individuals can age with dignity and financial stability.
