Gerontology

Background:

Elder Law has emerged as a recognized legal specialization over the past two decades.
Limited analysis exists on its historical development and future trajectory.
Gerontology has paid insufficient attention to Elder Law.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the past development and future directions of Elder Law.
To identify new frontiers for Elder Law's growth and contribution to gerontology.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on Elder Law.
Analysis of current legal theories applied to gerontology.
Identification of emerging trends and future research areas.

Main Results:

Existing literature primarily uses positivist, feminist, therapeutic, and law and economics approaches.
Three novel frontiers for Elder Law development are proposed: international, municipal, and jurisprudential gerontology.

Conclusions:

Future development of Elder Law requires exploring new and diverse directions.
These new frontiers will enhance Elder Law's contribution to gerontology and improve the lives of older adults.
