elder abuse
As Canada’s population ages, the number of citizens over 65 years of age will outnumber the number of citizens under the age of 15 by the year 2015. Statistics Canada indicates that in 2005, persons aged 65+ made up 13% of the population and the predictions for 2031, suggest this age group will represent 23 to 25% of the population. This means that an increasing number of people will be challenged by becoming the caregiver for both their parents and their own family.
