Increases in life expectancy mean that many middle-aged sons and daughters, perhaps beginning to think about their own retirement, find themselves responsible for the care of their aged parents. Geographical separation adds complications for some families; for others the creation of a multi-generational household presents challenges of a different kind. These challenges and opportunities are characteristics of aging societies and some other countries have already confronted them. In this lecture we will review what can be learned from their experience and how intergenerational relations can enhance the quality of life.
