Singapore
In Singapore today, people tend to live in nuclear families which consist of parents and children. Families in Singapore are getting smaller. Many children even grow up in single-parent homes. In most Singaporean families, both parent work. Very young children go to nursery schools or stay home with a child-minder when their parents are at work.

The phrase “elderly parents” is similar in meaning to the phrase “old people” in the paragraph. So, we can see the answer for this question in the next sentence.

The extended family, which consists of three or even four generations – great grandparents, grandparents, parents and children – is still very popular in Viet Nam.

On the other hand, it is the duty of the young people to take care of their elderly parents.
