Abstract:
The concept of filial responsibility refers to adult offsprings' obligations to meet the needs of their aging parents. It emphasizes "duty" and is usually associated with protection, care, and economic support (Schorr, 1960). Specific varieties of filial responsibility include personal contact with parents, financial aid to them, shared living arrangements, and assistance in meeting their daily needs. Recent extensions in life expectancy have produced considerable generational overlap so that today the obligations of filial responsibility have become all the more a reality for greater numbers of families (Nye & Berardo, 1973; Simos, 1970). Blenkner (1965) discussed "filial maturity" as a kind of developmental stage stemming from the resolution of a "filial crisis," which typically occurs in the middle years. Filial maturity is achieved when offspring realize that parents are becoming dependent upon them. Related Literatureread more
