Summary

Introduction

The elderly are those who require close and meticulous care, in such a way so as not to be neglected and unceasingly be the mainstay of Malaysian society in view of the anticipated rise in the number of senior citizens by year 2030. In addition to the living and medical costs that can be exceedingly high make it tough for low-income children (B40) to commit in the care process of their elderly, as it happens even the women's participation in the labor market causes challenges in parental care (Nichols, 2017; Nawi et al, 2016; Abdullah et al, 2015). This puts pressure on the family; the reliance on formal and informal assistance to take care of their parents especially the elderly (Alavi et al, 2015). The elderly’s quality of life should be granted priority in terms of adequate finances, physical wellness, secure accomodation, along with considerable support and social relationships (Ali, 2017)
