European and American families do this too.
- christophilus 6y agoDo they? American families don’t really do this in statistically significant numbers, I’d expect. No idea about Europe.
- i_am_proteus 6y agoSure they do, as soon a you leave the UMC bubble where nursing homes seem affordable. It's more common in recent immigrants, but 25% of the US population is 2nd-generation or more recent.
- redis_mlc 6y ago> in China. Children will take care of their parents in old age. Let me rephrase that so it's clearer: "in China. Children MUST take care of their parents 100% FINANCIALLY in old age." Because of the former one-child policy, that means you're it. This is a problem for the Chinese military and police, because if you're a one-child, you're very risk averse. This is seen in Chinese police allowing people to drown instead of even getting their feet wet.
