These days people are living into their 90s and beyond. As a result, there is increasing concern about care for the elderly. Do you think it is the responsibility of the family to care for their elderly members or should the government be held responsible?

There is a concern about the responsibility for the elderly. Some social workers suggest that it is the

This

essay agrees with the idea of making relatives obligatory. Let us start with the reasons why some social workers state that children are responsible for their parents, when they become old. The

first

reason is that the elderly used to take

care

of them before they got older. Aged members normally nurtured young ones, when they were immature, so now that they become grown-up, they should serve their parents in return. Another reason is that none can look after their relatives better than their children. People, who are unrelated to the family, cannot provide the same

care

as family members, so the best nurses are relatives.

, older people can

for their grandchildren. Grandparents commonly help working relatives by giving parental

care

to their young members, which is beneficial to the whole family.

However

, some doctors believe that the

government

should look after the aging generation.
