abstract: 'The sandwich generation is referring to the people raising their

  children while having to care for their aging parents at the same time.

  This trend is increasing in numbers in recent years. A dual breadwinner

  paradigm resulted from the economic change which requires most families

  to have two incomes for their economic viability. Besides that, this

  working people also need to taking care their parent or parent in law

  due to lack of preparation of elderly age. This group of people is

  classified as `sandwich generation''.Nowadays, between 1 out of 8

  households with aged 30 or older is classified as dual-earner or

  sandwiched generation couples. The impact from multiple caregiving

  duties is inequalities in psychological, physical, employment, and

  financial outcomes of the family institution. It is possible that

  multi-generational caregiving responsibilities will continue to rise for

  the children of baby boomers as life expectancies continue to go up.

  People continue to have children later in life, and continue to support

  those children to older ages. The review of literature shows positive

  and negative benefits for the caregivers. Policy and clinical supports

  must be put into place to facilitate the highly necessary and valuable

  caregiving responsibilities of this population. In addition, the

  outcomes of the present study will spur the economic development and

  assist the development of health promoting programs in accordance to the

  local context. Besides that, it also provides guidelines to policy maker

  and health professionals in maintaining quality healthy lifestyles of

  the nation. Policy, health, and research implications are included.'
