Longer life spans and the delayed economic and psychological independence of children mean that middle-aged parents find themselves caring for parents and children at the same period in their lives, at times this care may extend to grandchildren and grandparents. The type of care varies depending on each person's need but also on the gender of the individual who looks after their parents while taking care of their own children. Cultural factors can also come into play. Complications in the lives of those who are part of the Sandwich Generation (SG) may arise affecting the quality of their time, their psyche, physical and financial situation. Having the necessary skills and strategies to cope with these complications is extremely important.
寿命延长以及子女经济和心理独立的延迟意味着中年父母在自己的人生阶段同时要照顾父母和子女，有时这种照顾可能会延伸到孙辈和祖辈。照顾的类型不仅取决于每个人的需求，还取决于在照顾自己孩子的同时照顾父母的人的性别。文化因素也可能起作用。夹心一代（SG）成员生活中的复杂情况可能会出现，影响他们的时间质量、心理、身体和财务状况。拥有应对这些复杂情况的必要技能和策略极其重要。
