ABSTRACT

This paper aims to delve into the comparative analysis and legislative considerations of elderly guardianship systems. Firstly, it introduces the definition and importance of elderly guardianship systems, exploring their roles within social and legal frameworks. Secondly, it analyzes elderly guardianship systems in major countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and the implementation status and limitations of China's current system. Subsequently, through a comparison of international experiences, it examines the challenges faced during the implementation of these systems. Finally, targeted legislative recommendations are proposed, including leveraging international experiences and enhancing domestic policy frameworks to further develop and improve China's elderly guardianship system.
