@ChrisMayLA6 I'm 71. I have 3 kids who, between them, have 5 kids, aged 8 to 28. Neither of my grandkids of childbearing age have kids. 1 of my kids has 4, 1 has 1 & 1 has none. My kids ages are 39-47.
I may be different but it never occurred to me to *plan* on 1 or all of my kids caring for me in my old age. In conversations with them, they aren't counting on their own kids to care for them.
Capitalists want more people to become workers. Their interest isn't social.

In response to this post@PattyHanson
err... I was merely observing that a world made up of more single people might look rather different, yes there may be inter-generational care issues, but also issues of how we work together to ensure the older of us are either cared for or supported.... by all means look at through the lens of capitalism, but the issues will remain as society's demography changes.
If you are receiving a state (or private) pension, the young are supporting you....
