Abstract:The elderly are facing various risks of being deceived, which will seriously affect the quality of life and social stability. Based on the characteristics of vulnerability, this paper defines the concept and characteristics of the elderly's fraud vulnerability. Combining the influence factors based on different theories, this paper proposes a process model of the elderly's fraud vulnerability, and further comprehensively compares and measures the subjective, objective, and comprehensive methods of measuring the elderly's fraud vulnerability and their application scope. Finally, it is proposed that future research can be carried out in terms of expanding the connotation of the elderly's fraud vulnerability, multi-disciplinary dynamic measurement and targeted intervention mechanisms.
