Abstract	Objective: The primary aim of this study is to identify the key factors contributing to the differences in the prevalence of elder abuse between Empowered Action Group (EAG) states and non-EAG states. Methods: The data for this study was sourced from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave 1, conducted in 2017-18. The study focused on older adults aged 60+ from a sample of 10,686 from EAG states and 20,166 from non-EAG states. A multivariate nonlinear decomposition analysis was conducted to identify the key factors contributing to the gap in elder abuse prevalence between EAG and non-EAG states in India. The main goal was to determine the covariates driving these variations. Results: The decomposition analysis revealed a significant rise in elder abuse rates among EAG states compared to non-EAG states, driven largely by changes in behavioral responses.
