| Abstract | This paper examines intergenerational family life, which is the most common African household type, and its inclusion in care service provision for older people in social work and social development in South Africa. The paper draws on the findings of a qualitative research study that was conducted in a religious-cultural environment with older people and their caregivers to identify areas of family vulnerability amidst the difficult socio-economic conditions of South African society. On this basis, various dimensions of inter-sectoral collaboration that are necessary to support families facing adversity are identified. Emphasis is placed on the importance of engaging religious, cultural, and indigenous practice frameworks, and relevant stakeholders to promote appropriate policy and services for clients in relation to their lived realities. These aspects are central to empowering communities in terms of minimizing the vulnerabilities that are attendant to intergenerational family life and care. |
