Although Vietnamese government spitulated a lot of policies for elderly people, but the public support that is
currently available to the elderly is extremely limited. The state´s inability to provide full support to elderly people
so that the responsibility of taking care of them actually belongs to family. It is confirmed by the number of elderly
people living with their children when they are old and a lot of policies required families take care of elderly people.
The family undoubtedly continues to play a crucial role in providing older persons with care in Vietnam.
