The previous generations had 2 or 3 children, the one before that had 6 to 7 children, no guess on how many did the one before had.
Cities developed, infrastructure grew, industries increased in numbers and resultant was people started moving to cities for jobs. The joint families with 6-7 siblings split up. The ones who moved to cities started having lesser kids for various reasons. Kids started looking for opportunities overseas and who were left behind? The parents, the elders and that gave a space for old age homes.
I have seen parents living with kids, kids living in different cities and elders without family. So what's the point?
There is definitely need of Old Age Homes.
I, myself, thinking of constructing one. God know if I can afford taking shelter in an old age home, so why not have one of my own?
