This phenomenon occurs more frequently in places that are economically well developed and have a big population concentrated in large urban centers, where people hardly know each other. One such problem is, without a doubt, elder abuse in the family, an issue that affects many elderly people and had not, until now, been subjected to the kind of in-depth analysis its seriousness warrants. This study, conducted by the Queen Sofía Center’s scientific coordinator, Isabel Iborra Marmolejo, and published and promoted by this same institution, was sponsored and supported by Bancaja. It presents a very precise picture of the scope of this problem in Spain, using data obtained from a wide survey. In addition, it reviews similar studies conducted in other countries that make it possible to contextualize the problem in Spain, and it analyzes Spanish legislation on this matter. For our institution, contributing to the diffusion of the results obtained in the report Elder Abuse in the Family in Spain is part of our unwavering commitment to society: to improve the quality of life of all its members, especially those who require extra care and solidarity. We, therefore, wish to thank the author of this report and the institution that promoted it for their invaluable scientific contribution that is not only highly worthy of praise, but should, especially, be as widely disseminated as possible.
