The issue of elder care creates numerous legal questions, which reveal the close interrelation between the insufficiency of national welfare systems and the recourse to private autonomy. The difficulty of self-management old people face highlights the inadequacy of the public measures for the care of dependent subjects. It also determines the recourse to contracts aimed at providing private assistance in exchange for money or the transfer of goods. At a first level, the public national models of care to the elderly will be compared, proposing reform trajectories for the Italian legal system. At a second level, the problems in private bargaining will be analyzed, given the lack of protection for the weaker party of the legal relationship.
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
November 2023 - March 2024
During the period I worked, together with the members of the spoke, on the intergenerational index project with special reference to legal indexes. On 4 March the Age-it Spoke 7 Workshop was held at Bocconi University entitled "The state of progress in the construction of the intergenerational justice index from a legal and philosophical perspective".
I organized the legal clinic “Il diritto grigio”, at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, with lessons and practical exercitations about the most relevant issues in contemporary elder law.
I worked on several papers on topic related with ageing:
- Invecchiamento demografico e tutela della persona nelle esperienze giuridiche contemporanee”, Proceedings of the conference ‘Un diritto gentile per la persona anziana’- forthcoming
- Demographic ageinng and the protection of older persons in contemporary legal systems, De lege ferenda (Universidad de Granada)- forthcoming
- Demography and comparative law: a twofold relationship in the analysis of population ageing- paper for the general Meeting (Venice 2024)
