Exploração econômica e o abandono afetivo: dignidade humana dos idosos

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC) aims to address issues surrounding financial exploitation and the emotional abandonment of elderly people in society, as well as discuss legislation aimed at ensuring the protection of these elderly individuals. Population aging is a global phenomenon, and with it come critical issues related to the well-being, rights, and quality of life of the elderly. The work aims to tackle the need to guarantee financial support for the elderly, as well as their reciprocal obligation towards their children. Furthermore, it delves into the emotional harm caused by emotional abandonment, including separation from family members and other loved ones. The primary objective is to identify the fundamental rights and the principle of human dignity that must be guaranteed to the elderly, allowing them to be supported by their families at the end of their lives. Therefore, this study seeks to discuss the treatment that society provides to the elderly and underscore the importance of the debate to resolve this situation, in order to combat cases in which economic exploitation and emotional abandonment of elderly individuals occur.
