Co-residence of adult children and aging parentsMandič, Srna (Avtor) The article explores the views of three age groups among the Slovenian population about co-residence as one option for filial care of the aged, by using interviews obtained in the DEMHOW project. Co-residence between adult children and their parents was found to be the most important reference point for seeking a solution to the problem of a frail elderly person, unable to care for herself. Co-residence was the starting point for consideration, the first option to examine. The interviews revealed two significant underlying concerns among people. Firstly, the middle cohort was found to be already greatly overburdened by a high and rising work load; secondly, older cohorts recognised the family as a significant source of contacts and of emotional ties that could be easily jeopardised by a too heavy caring burden. The family was found to be a major discussion group within which the changing roles of generations and heavy societal pressures are articulated and reflected.20102016-09-15 03:34:53Delo ni kategorizirano85296sl
