The sandwich generation refers to individuals who must care for both their own children and their elderly parents.
The sandwich generation is the term used for middle-aged individuals (usually in their 40s and 50s) who are obligated to care for and support their aging parents and growing children. The sandwich generation is named as these individuals are effectively "sandwiched" between the obligation to care for their aging parents, who may be ill, unable to perform various tasks, or in need of financial support and their children, who require financial, physical, and emotional support. The patterns of increasing lifespans and having children at an older age have promoted the sandwich generation phenomenon.
