How the Sandwich Generation is Adapting
April 11th, 2008
Many of us who are now over 50 are considered part of the Sandwich Generation. The sandwich generation refers to a generation of people reaching traditional retirement age who are caring in some way for both elders and children or grandchildren. The size of this group is growing rapidly as life expectancy increases and we see the development of children born to us later in life (than the age of our parents when we were born). This is thanks to new technologies and jobs such as project management consultants are new and were not around 200 years ago.
