In China, that's exactly why most people have kids. In my experience, very few don't take care of their parents when they're older due to enormous social pressures. Like, you'd have to be an incredibly bad person to not check in on your parents when they're old. So, if they raised you well enough to survive into adulthood and you're not a sociopath, you're not going to let them starve in the street.
