大多数成年子女在父母长大后照顾他们。然而，家庭表达自己照顾老年成员的方式取决于文化和社会因素，而这些因素在各个社会都不同。考虑到这些差异，CSCW系统和相关服务的设计，以支持非正式的老年人养老需要上下文的复杂和多样化的生活经验和老年人的需求的理解。本文提出了一个跨代的研究，以更好地了解合作性质的非正式老年人在智利和阿根廷。研究结果表明，家庭成员承担隐性的角色，以履行其职责，几乎没有协调和家庭网络内的承诺没有可见性。这意味着，老年人照料问题的表达效率低下，容易发生冲突，而且不平衡，家庭成员根据性别和与老年人的亲属关系将各种关切分开。
Most adult children take care of their parents as they become older. However, the way in which families articulate themselves to care for their older members depends on cultural and social factors, which are different across societies. Given these differences, the design of CSCW systems and related services to support informal elderly caregiving requires contextual understanding of the complex and diverse living experiences and needs of older adults. This paper presents a cross-generational study to better understand the cooperative nature of informal elderly caregiving in Chile and Argentina. The study results show that family members assume implicit roles to fulfill their duties, with practically no coordination and no visibility of the assumed commitments within the family network. This implies that the articulation of the elderly caregiving is inefficient, conflict prone, and unbalanced, where family members assume a separation of concerns based on gender and kinship relationship with the older adult.
