In India also just like in your country parents live with their children. But now times are changing fast here and so children go to big cities in search of better job opportunities. So many parents live in towns and villages whereas their children will be abroad or in big cities.

Some parents live with children, but many her in the Uk live in 'nursing homes' when they need more care than family can provide. Since most adults work here, it is often impossible to stop working (and earning money) to care for a relative full-time.

In the Philippines, as much as possible, the children live with the parents and take care of them (at least one of them anyway, if not all) until they die. Unless the child ends up living far away and can't take the parent/s with them.
