[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people had kids much younger than they do now, that created more generational layers to provide support. If you were a great-grandparent by age 75 or 80, you might rely on your kids or your grandkids for help. Now, people aren't even becoming grandparents until they're in their 70s, leaving the burden to fall on kids in their 40s who are still raising young kids. And since many older folks aren't dying until their 90s, there's no inheritance until their kids are in their 70s.[/quote] +1 And the caregivers are disproportionately women. [/quote]
