When talking about children and the elderly, the relationship between the two ages is known as "grandparents raising grandchildren". The latest Thai family statistics of the year 2018 shows rough figures that Thai children live with the elderly approximately 31.8%, of which 27.8% are in a family of three generations, more or less depending on the context of each family.
