Examines issues of family care in eastern and western societies, arguing through a discussion of the notion of 'filial piety' that the family remains the central social institution providing care for older people in need, both in eastern and western societies. Suggests there are comparative lessons to be learned in the way social work with older people and their families is conceptualised. Attention to 'indirect' forms of practice, especially in supporting family carers, and to gender issues in family care, are seen to be important for the future development of social work in this field.

This paper argues that the profession and schools of social work in the USA have "become out of sync with an ageing society". The case for an infusion of knowledge about ageing and older people throughout school of social work curricula and for a close review of the practicum is made. Equally important is an intensive programme of education of practice, and the strategy of clinical professorships, as in medical schools is recommended.
