Abstract

This paper examines the political implications of current decision making efforts that underpin recent cost‐cutting measures of federally supported programs serving the elderly. Current policy changes that favor the private sector (e.g., shifts of the cost of care to other levels of government and to elderly individuals and their families) have also generated a renewed interest in the policy of mandating family responsibility. The paper also examines attitudes concerning filial responsibility, such as multigenerational living. The inadequacy of current policy analysis that has encouraged the disestablishment of the current long‐term care system and the shifting of care costs to the private sector, especially to the individual and the family are also examined.
