In Minnesota, the Department of Commerce receives referrals and assists financial institutions on hold decisions. To understand how often temporary holds are placed and what types of cases and victims receive a hold, we examine reporting trends from 2022 to 2025 and examine the correlates of hold placement in a subsample of 1,050 cases. We calculated the quarterly frequency of financial exploitation referrals and holds placed in Minnesota. Using logistic regression, we assessed whether victim age, sex, type of exploitation, referring entity, account type at risk, amount stolen ($), and amount at risk ($) were associated with hold placement. Reported cases and temporary holds increased 180% between 2022 and 2025. Hold placement was more likely if the amount stolen was $20,000+ and if the at-risk funds remaining were $20,000+. Temporary hold decisions may be influenced by the severity of exploitation and account values. Financial institutions need flexibility and regulatory guidance on how to appropriately use holds to stop exploitation.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dependent individuals predominantly rely on care provided by family members; however, especially poorer individuals may face difficulties in receiving such support. This study investigates wealth-related inequality and inequity of informal care receipt among older Indian citizens. Using data from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (2017-2019), our sample consists of 12,913 individuals aged 60 years and older with functional limitations. Concentration indices and horizontal inequity indices are calculated to identify inequalities in informal care receipt by household wealth. In addition, regression analyses are used to examine the relationship between various individual characteristics and informal care receipt. Results show that individuals from wealthier households more often receive informal care, also when standardizing for differences in care needs. Furthermore, in addition to care needs, several non-need-related variables such as having co-residing children and higher educational attainment are associated with the probability of receiving informal care. The findings highlight the need for policies aimed at increasing access to (informal) long-term care, particularly for individuals from poorer households. This could be achieved, for example, by targeting formal long-term care services or by providing support to informal caregivers in poorer households.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review utilizes grounded theory analysis to systematically examine 48 central and local policy documents concerning China's reemployment policies for older adults. The findings identify a \"state-led incremental empowerment\" model of older adult employment and contribute to theoretical understanding in three principal ways. First, the study illustrates the institutionalization of labor-market dualism, in which older workers are activated but remain legally marginalized. Second, the framework situates security within a legally codified \"family-first, state-supplement\" model. Through a feminist political economy perspective, the research identifies an implicit assumption of the unencumbered older worker, which theoretically obscures the active-aging care gap. The study further suggests that specific global active aging frameworks are selectively appropriated to serve state economic objectives rather than universal rights, thereby establishing a critical foundation for equitable policy reform.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the relationship between residential movement and successful aging among older adults in South Korea. Based on data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (2012-2022), an analysis was conducted on 5,307 individuals aged 51 to 101 years, examining residential changes across administrative divisions, urban-rural contexts, and housing types. Successful aging was defined through four dimensions: absence of major disease, no disability, high cognitive function, and social participation. Binary logistic regression revealed that individuals without residential movement had significantly higher odds of successful aging, particularly those who remained within the same administrative division (OR = 2.06) or housing type (OR = 1.59). These findings underscore the importance of residential stability in promoting health, autonomy, and social integration in later life. Policies that support aging in place, including community-based services and accessible housing, may enhance the quality of life and reduce inequalities among the aging population.","PeriodicalId":47121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging & Social Policy","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149041347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study draws on interviews with 14 Israeli meso-level experts, operating at the intersection of policy and practice, to explore their perceptions of the current arrangement. The analysis reveals a deeply ambivalent stance: migrant live-in caregiving is viewed as functionally indispensable yet structurally flawed, often described as \"the least bad solution\" within a constrained long-term care system. While benefits for care recipients are acknowledged, concerns about caregiver exploitation, precarious legal conditions, and emotional strain are raised.

In this study, we estimated LTC needs among older adults in Indonesia using multiple functional and cognitive assessment criteria. Data were drawn from the 2023 Indonesia Longitudinal Aging Survey. The analytic sample consisted of 1558 community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 60 years with complete data for activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental ADLs (IADLs), and cognitive function; proxy interviews were excluded. The percentage of people with defined LTC needs ranged from 1.9% based on the strictest definition of need (≥2 ADL limitations and cognitive impairment) to 71.3% based on the broadest definition of need (≥1 ADL limitation or ≥1 IADL limitation or cognitive impairment). Using the recommended criterion of ≥4 cumulative ADL/IADL limitations or cognitive impairment, 16.6% of older adults were classified as having LTC needs. LTC needs markedly increased with age, with the highest estimates observed among adults aged ≥ 75 years. These results reveal that the applied definition of need strongly shapes national estimates of LTC service needs.
