We are much more privileged when it comes to old age with our kind of family system I think. Even though the scene has already changed now a days. It a whole another story I agree.
In the west where people are free and detatched from 18 years old, its a pathetic sight to see shivering elderly peoples going out alone to buy grocery, crossing the road, fixing their broken house etc
oh dear, that is really sad
As per my understandings, many of them might have divorced their life partners several times and have enough money with them to lead the rest of their lives. In that case, our societal laws related to marriage and family are top notch. Only monogamy is allowed here and also taking care of elderly people is regarded as a way to heaven!
True.
