Moreover, those living in poverty have been found to suffer from higher rates of isolation due to decreased social networks or activities leading them further into distress – this feeling is amplified even more among elderly populations who may already feel like they’re becoming disconnected from society due to age-related losses such as retirement or loss of loved ones. Furthermore, seniors in poverty are at greater risk for exploitation due to demographically based disparities that exist within our current system – these include but not limited to unfair treatment by employers/landlords (such as discrimination on the basis of age), lack of legal aid or representation when facing eviction notices or other forms abuse/neglect (financial/physical/emotional). All these factors combine together making it difficult for low income elderly individuals manage daily life tasks without assistance; there is also evidence demonstrating that poverty puts older adults at increased risk for mortality compared with those who do not experience financial hardship.
