The term"sandwich generation" has been used to describe middle age adults who are caring for children (who have left home and returned, or perhaps because of delayed child-bearing have not yet left home) and for elderly parents.

What are the consequences of being a member of the "sandwiched" mid-life generation? Remember to consider both positive and negative consequences for each developmental domain.

What research is there to help us understand how to manage this situation?
