Abstract
This study aims to unfold the resultant changes in the lives of the elderly by examining the data from three Asian countries: China, the Philippines, and Japan. All of these countries lie in the Asia-Pacific region, which is by and large a very dynamic area of the world, not only economically, socially, and politically but also in terms of its demography and population profile. By analyzing the census data, the study mainly focuses on the changing practices of household elderly care in different countries, which will help us better understand the elderly care change in developing and developed nations.
