墨西哥和美国共同拥有超过2000英里长的边境线，而且他们还面临着人口迅速老龄化的现实。在每个国家，人口老龄化都是在不同的经济发展水平和不同的政治、文化和体制历史背景下发生的。美国在长期机构和社区护理方面有相对较长的经验，而墨西哥没有(Angel等人)。2012年)。对墨西哥来说，有限的财政资源和大量低收入人口的需要限制了这种可能性(Gutiérrez等人)。2015年)。在美国和墨西哥，除了政府资助的项目之外，还必须发展其他选择。在墨西哥，就像在几乎所有其他国家一样，家庭仍然是大多数年迈父母的主要赡养来源(戈麦斯和蒙提斯·德·奥卡，2004年)。对于在美国的拉美裔人来说，依赖家庭也是一种常态(华莱士2012)。在美国，社会保障和医疗补助为拉美裔老年人提供了比现在更充分的长期安全网
Mexico and the United States share a border over 2000 miles long and they also share the reality of rapidly aging populations.

For Latinos in the United States, the reliance on family has also been the norm (Wallace 2012).
