Abstract
- The article analyzes the literature on aging and the family that were published in the 1960s. The age of marriage and the birth of first child has been decreasing. Couples tend to have fewer children due to which their child rearing responsibilities end at an earlier age. The data derived from the studies during the period suggest that the bond between parents and children continue, even after the marriage of the adult children. Parent and their children visit and provide aid to each other.
