Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Financial exploitation by persons in trust relationships and fraud and scams by strangers are among the commonest forms of elder maltreatment worldwide. A 2015 national prevalence study estimates 2.5% of community-dwelling Canadians age 55+ are financially abused. Rates of elder cyber-victimization are likely higher given that Canadians are the world’s highest Internet users. This paper tracks interventions federal and provincial government agencies, NGOs and the financial industry in Canada have developed to address the problem. These include a recent financial industry example that offers online training to all staff and another that features bankers volunteering their time/expertise to offer seminars to groups of 10+ local seniors. Analysis focuses on changes over time in the content, format and method of delivery of awareness raising and preventive messaging and training, highlighting the trend towards enhancing consumer financial literacy in mainstream as well as among cultural minority seniors.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
