| Annotation | There is a general lack of awareness of elder abuse in Spain, but professionals working with older people recognise evidence of the problem, and are beginning to understand, quantify and formulate responses. This article summarises the findings of six reports published since 1990. Some sociological and cultural characteristics are suggested - which may be particular to Spain and other Latin and Mediterranean cultures - which may help our understanding of elder abuse: the role of the family; unemployment; housing costs; and older people's low levels of education. |
