“We really have to think about aging because women are living longer than men. More of the people who need care are women. A lot of them are living alone, with no one to care for them, or they're shunted into institutions. I would like to see a sensible aging policy more like what the Nordic countries have. They're cutting back those programs, but there you can still have in-home nursing care. You don't have to rely on your children. I personally don't want to be a burden on my daughter.” PeopleThinkingMenWantNeedsChildrenStillsCountryHomeCareCuttingPolicyDaughterProgramOur ChildrenInstitutionsAgingBurdenYour ChildrenRelyMy DaughterSensibleNursingLiving AloneNordic Author:Martha C.
