    COVID has highlighted pre-existing institutional and societal barriers, providing robust care for vulnerable seniors, and factors contributing to unequal treatment. This panel will examine inequality and aging from various perspectives, including the impact of the “pariah-tization” of COVID on vulnerable seniors, how social policies that discriminate on the basis of narrowly defined family relationships create inequality among older adults, and the mismatch between traditional family law and the lives of many older Americans. Also, it will examine narratives of im/migrant, Latinx, and/or BIPOC women working as long-term care aides in order to identify shortcomings in existing law to protect this critical workforce.
