520 _aWith ageing of populations and the number of frail older people requiring care increasing, the need for care by either family members or government agencies is growing. In Hong Kong, adult children only have a moral duty to provide financial support to their elderly parents. However, in many other regions, such as Singapore, China, the United States and Canada, adult children are required by law to support their elderly parents. Legislation may have a negative effect on family harmony and may not be effective, as it is difficult to enforce. Filial responsibility may best be encouraged by incentive schemes and community support services that are of help to family carers.
