Background[عدل]
Population aging is occurring at unprecedented rates in poor settings (e.g., Palloni et al. 2009). As parents in such settings acquire needs for care, they have relied on adult children for economic and instrumental support (e.g., Agree et al., 2005; Frankenberg et al. 2002). Increasingly, adult children also remain economically dependent because of macro-economic downturns, increased schooling attainments, and later ages at marriage (Frankenberg et al., 2002).
