When I think about people in the UK, and probably especially London, don't care for their elderly as much as people in Cyprus (where I'm from), I can't help but think there's something deeper to it. Intergenerational debt seems very different (imbalanced) in the UK.

Hi Olivia thanks for the replies, I agree with your points. I think it is very complex though, at least from my point of view. Like you said, some people would like to help their kids but don't have the means to do so.

I agree that systems make it harder to care for older people too. Also some cultures have a rule that young people have to care for their elders, but they might not have the means to do that because they have to also pay their own bills. It becomes really difficult then.

It is a topic I think about a lot but can't speak about very articulately. I agree with you and wish that there was more cohesiveness between the generations and that we were able to help each other out more, not only monetarily but in terms of skills, knowledge, experience.
