Abstract

Little has been written about informal support of elderly people in Korea, a nation with a Long tradition of family-centered parent care. Based on data on elderly people residing in Seoul, this paper reports on the patterns of informal support networks of the elderly and support relationships in these networks in the urbanized society. Koreans´ resilient family networks and their nationwide efforts to develop services for the elderly and to preserve the tradition of at-home parent caring are discussed.
