‘A tattoo for mom?’ Ageism Unmasked
Michael Nicin, executive director of Ryerson University’s National Institute on Ageing, points out that children want their parents to live long and healthy lives. And parents are anxious not to be a burden to their children. “We are all worried about each other,” Nicin told the Globe and Mail. “We all care for each other.” He added that he expects to see a trend toward more intergenerational housing. “The more we depend on each other, and not on the state, the better off we are.”
