The ageing of the population and its impact on family structure

One of every four households in Latin America has at least one older adult among its members. Over two thirds of older adults live in multigenerational homes as a result of economic dependency affecting the lives of both older and younger members of society. In countries where per capita income tends to be higher and the demographic transition is more advanced, a much larger proportion of older adults continues to live independently.
