Who Is Needy and Who Should Give Care?

Abstract

Regardless of where we live or what our economic circumstances are, every generation needs the next, and caring for one another is essential if we are to thrive as a people. When older adults are surrounded only by their own age peers, their relationships inevitably begin to dwindle, and loneliness looms large. When young children do not have caring adults to protect and nurture them, their future appears scary indeed. Moreover, young children need multiple role models to envision their own aging process in a positive light. In today’s world, it often takes targeted policies and specialized programming to connect and support people across ages, so that they can recognize mutual benefits in caring for each other and continue to live interdependently.
