| Annotation | Elder law in Israel is still in its initial stages of development, and this article aims to introduce a model that describes the various dimensions in which law can contribute to the promotion of older people's rights. The model consists of five legal dimensions: the legal principles core; the protective dimension; the supportive dimension; the preventive dimension; and the empowerment dimension. In each dimension, the law serves a distinct social function and reflects different social values towards older people. The advantage of the proposed model is its ability to present a broad and coherent picture of the relationships between law and the protection of elder rights. Implementation of the model may also serve to advance the academic discussion of these issues from an international comparative perspective. (RH). |
