This study evaluates the appropriateness of the family support obligation rules in the National Basic Livelihood Security(NBLS) program. We have estimated the size of the households excluded from the coverage of the program because of the family support obligation rules. Results show that 4.53 percent of the entire households are unable to receive benefits enough to maintain the minimum standard of living due to inappropriate rules of the family support obligation. Though they are given some support from their families, they are still poor because the amount of family support is less than the level assumed by the NBLS. Despite an increased emphasis on the responsibilities of the government and society to support the elderly, the government has not been responsive to the growing need for state intervention in old-age support. This study concludes that the role of government in old-age support needs to be expanded given the gradual change in family support behaviors and consciousness among the public.
