[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will find their adult kids will move away so they will have to find a way to cope. I wouldn't think children are a guarantee in elder years.  [/quote]

This. I think some of these adult children will have to make a choice between making it in the workplace or giving up a job and a financial future for their parents and most will chose to be in the workforce. Early on in your career it is much harder to take family leave if you are lucky enough to have that benefit.

I am struck by the number of black and white thinkers. Oh parents can get ill at any time, so it's totally fine to have kids at 50 because life is a crapshoot. It's about data and chances. Sure you can get ill and die in your 20s, but there are so many more risks with say a 46 year old having babies. Besides the risk to her health and the child, she is now more likely to get breast cancer and yes, her kid is more likely to face caregiving at an age when not established in life yet.[/quote]
