Discussion Post: Legal and Regulatory Factors Associated with Global Inequalities in Aging
The purpose of this discussion is to evaluate legal and regulatory factors associated with global inequalities in aging and to discuss conceptual frameworks for addressing the political, legal and regulatory issues.

Your post should include:
1) Identification and background information about the inequity (e.g., economic);
2) Your critical evaluation of specific legal or regulatory practices that contribute to the inequity and/or aim to mitigate the inequity and any recommended changes to existing policies or laws or proposal for new laws or regulations.
3) Application of at least one specific theoretical framework and related concepts (e.g., Political Economy Theory; Cumulative Advantage/Disadvantage Theory) referenced in the readings to support your evaluation and recommendations.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
