Abstract

The couple and family orientation of social life and the value attached to sociability make the family a main reference point in the aging process, and aging needs should thus be explored within the context of the family (Brubaker, 1990). Thus, in order to assure the quality of life of older people, and contribute to family cohesion and intergenerational family solidarity, societal and familial changes should be discussed and examined. These include changing demographics, particularly the phenomenon of global aging; changing family structures and support patterns; changing family preferences for care; increased participation of women (the traditional caregivers) in the labor force; changing economic patterns; changing living arrangements of older people; and globalization and technological changes. This chapter addresses most of these changes and their salience to intergenerational family solidarity and social solidarity.
