The next part of the chapter provides an approximation of care needs, focusing in particular on families with children and on care of older persons. It shows how families with different configurations and in diverse settings seek to respond to these needs (or fall short of doing so) through intra-family and inter-generational transfers of care. The largest CDRs for older persons are observed in Europe and Northern America (7.8 per cent) followed by Australia and New Zealand (5.3 per cent) and Eastern and South-Eastern Asia (4.0 percent), which have high long-term care burdens (see Figure 5.7).
