[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a relatively recent thing? In the past when life expectancy wasn't as long, there wouldn't have been so many 50, 60 and even 70 somethings still dealing with their parents.[/quote] This isn’t accurate. Childhood mortality was so terrible pre-antibiotic, pre-vaccine etc, that the enormous numbers of children who died under five dramatically skew the averages. Averages are seldom a good measure, and here is a good example. Elders and their care are not a new phenomenon at all.[/quote]
