Abstract
This academic article aims to: 1) Understand the study of elderly policy from an interdisciplinary perspective; 2) Examine the perspectives of various disciplines on public policy, such as gerontology, public health, sociology, economics, psychology, and public administration; 3) Identify the challenges and obstacles in studying elderly policy through an interdisciplinary approach; and 4) Develop strategies to promote the study of elderly issues using interdisciplinary approaches. The study finds that: 1) Cross-disciplinary collaboration and integrating perspectives from multiple fields create a comprehensive understanding and a strong foundation for developing effective and high-quality policies for the elderly in society over the long term; 2) Disciplines studying public policy, such as gerontology, provide deep insights into various aspects of the impacts of aging on individuals, families, communities, and society; 3) Challenges that hinder the advancement of interdisciplinary approaches in developing and implementing elderly policies include significant obstacles to effective collaboration among experts from different fields, such as differing perspectives, communication barriers, and resource constraints; and 4) Utilizing interdisciplinary approaches in developing elderly policies is an effective method for managing the complexities and diversity of aging, leading to the development of appropriate policies for the elderly in the future.
