The Canadian securities regulators have reportedly warned people about the increasing instances of financial elder abuse. Recently, a report by Statistics Canada revealed the number of Canadians aged between 55-64 has outnumbered Canadian aged between 15-24 for the first time.
In the next 25 years, it is expected that the number of people aged 85 and above will triple. Hence, it is expected that the issue of financial elder abuse could increase in future.
