The family is the main source of caregiving to all its members. One's need for and ability to give care is negotiated by one's place in the family's life cycle and one's social identity-male or female, grandparent, parent, child, or spouse. The availability of relatives shapes the type of care the family can provide for itself and what forms of care it requires from outsiders. The social structure of the family is culturally shaped and globally varied. Most nations have had an upsurge in population aging in the past 50 years that will likely last for the next 50. Thus, a major question is: How can the efforts of families to meet the needs of their elders be filled in culturally appropriate contexts? The increasing diversity of family structures within and across nations will invite an assortment of local solutions drawing resources from multiple levels: individuals, families, and communities
