About
The Journal of Elder Policy (JEP) aims to offer a forum for innovative thinking, theorizing, program planning and empirical research relevant to elder policy. We seek to publish informative articles relevant to policies that enhance quality of life and well-being of older adults including the old- old. Why a new interdisciplinary journal about old age and policy? The study of age is thriving as the scientific community works to identify and study the changing circumstances and options in later life among new cohorts of older adults. The welfare of older adults is importantly influenced by social changes, including policy arrangements, impacting both the young and old. We seek to understand factors that shape family supports available to those with needs for medical and social care in late life. We will apply diverse disciplinary lenses to explore the social forces that shape elder policy and affect what care providers can offer and sustain.
Current policies and service programs to protect the growing old-old population are often inadequate to ensure a good old age. The organization and delivery of medical care poses major challenges to older adults with co-morbid conditions and disabilities. Income inequalities put low SES individuals at greater risks in old age. Strains on policy systems and inadequate resources limit care of the old-old population. But there is also great opportunity at hand as exemplified by technological advances and breakthroughs. We aim to call attention to these issues and propose improved policies that are informed by sound research in the US and around the world.

关于
《老年政策杂志》(JEP) 旨在为与老年政策相关的创新思维、理论思考、项目规划和实证研究提供论坛。我们致力发表与“提升老年人（包括85岁以上老年人）生活质量和福祉的政策”相关的信息性文章。为什么要出版一本关于老年和政策的新跨学科杂志？随着科学界致力识别和研究新老年群体的晚年生活中不断变化的环境和选择，老年研究正在蓬勃发展。老年人的福利受到包括政策安排在内的社会变革的重要影响，并且这种福利对年轻人和老年人都产生影响。我们试图解读一系列因素，后者影响了那些在晚年需要医疗和社会护理的人可获得的家庭支持。我们将应用不同的学科视角来探究影响老年政策的社会力量，这些社会力量还对护理提供者能提供和维持的服务产生影响。
当前用于保护不断增长的85岁以上老年人口的政策和服务项目往往不足以确保一个优质晚年。医疗服务的组织和交付为患有合并症和残疾的老年人带来重大挑战。收入不平等使社会经济地位低的个体在老年时面临更大的风险。政策体系遭受的压力和资源不足限制了对85岁以上老年人口的照顾。但也存在即将来临的巨大机会，例如技术进步和突破。我们呼吁关注这些问题，并根据美国和世界各地的健全研究提出改进政策。
