Increase in life expectancy and the subsequent development in the population of older adults, relationships among the family members in the latter part of their years is receiving attention more than ever before. Research professionals and educators interested in the dynamics of later life family relationships have conceived new terminologies, for instance 'aging families', later life marriage, 'Sandwich Generation' and 'skip generation grand parents'. As a matter of fact, a rising sub-field within the sphere of Family Science, known as Family Gerontology propounded by Blieszner & Bedford, 1997 is becoming more and more understood. This area of specialization remains particularly related to investigating and analyzing family relationships among older adults. Several of the role and relationships which relate to aging families are inclusive of grandparents and that of their grandchildren, parents who are aging and their adult children, marriages in later life, divorce and remarriage among the old age population, and children in later life. (Aging Family Relationship).

             The Dynamics of Middle Age: .

             Living preparations constitute an important aspect of quality of life and health in old age. Availability of family care as also social and financial support contributes in part with whom one lives. To forecast future variations in the composition of households, especially with regard to planning and targeting specific community care services, information is required on the probability of a person experiencing an alteration in their living arrangements, and the life course episodes which might function as triggers. Various studies point that in among individuals who are of the age of 60 and more, majority of the changes in living arrangements are either because of the mourning or moving into an institution. (The Dynamics of Living Arrangements).

             Even this is in keeping with the general principles regarding the living arrangements constituted of this age group, maybe it is not so apparent that the bulk of other changes should be related to the migration of younger generations.
