Journal of Elder Policy (JEP)

The Journal of Elder Policy (JEP) was launched in 2020 as a dedicated forum for rigorous and innovative scholarship on policy issues affecting older adults and aging populations worldwide. Recognizing the rapid demographic shifts toward older societies and the complex challenges these shifts bring, JEP publishes original research, conceptual analyses, empirical studies, and policy commentaries that address how public and social policies shape the lives of elders. The journal’s semiannual schedule ensures a steady but manageable flow of high-impact content that spans multiple disciplines, including sociology, public health, economics, law, social work, and gerontology. JEP emphasizes work that bridges academic insights with policy relevance — from long-term care delivery and financing to ageism, family support networks, and age-friendly urban planning. Its content is intended to be relevant both to scholars advancing theoretical understanding and to policymakers grappling with policy design and implementation for aging populations. While rooted in robust scholarship, the journal also values clear articulation of policy implications and recommendations that can inform legislative action, organizational practice, and community programs. JEP is positioned as a vital resource for academics, practitioners, advocates for older adults, and anyone engaged in shaping the policies that influence aging experiences into the 21st century.
