My goal in this research paper is to analyze and explain how the family and children are affected in the context of the sandwich generation. The “sandwich” generation is the generation that falls in between parents that are aging and young children. They’re young people who are still juggling many of the responsibilities of children at home and a possible career‚ who are also responsible for the needs of aging parents.

Debra DeLaet explains that the United Nations differentiates between civil and political rights (first generation rights)‚ and economic‚ social and cultural rights (second generation rights).
