Journal of Social and Economic DevelopmentSummary: The present study attempts to describe, model and measure the severity of abuses being faced by older adults. Data from the BKPAI survey, conducted in the year 2011 across seven states of India, are utilized for the purpose. Considering the period after 60 years of age as exposure time, the model proposes that abuse occurs at rates pertaining to a Poisson process. Estimated rates are found to be the lowest for the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The rates factored into intensity and extent show that the extent is responsible for variation in rates across the states. Further, a global measure of elder abuse, based on the rates, that incorporate all types of abuses is defined. An alternative composite measure based on proportions is also defined. Composite measures indicate that among the states, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are relatively better positioned than the rest of the states.- Reproduced
