And jobs.. You cant expect them to quit their job and sit at home with their parents to look after them. Even then, how can you look after them if you don't have money. It would be much wiser to put them in a nursing home and then pay for them which you can only do if you are actually working and getting a pay check.
My parents are old and my dad is retired. So far his ex employers have been kind enough to renew his RP every year but how long can this go on? He is almost 65 now and my mom has never worked. This can't go on for ever. They live alone in their aparment but my brothers and I visit them once a week.
