Abstract
Old age is a time of emotional, social and physiological challenges. The role of the family remains essential in coping with these challenges. This is particularly true of non-cohabiting children, who in 2020 accounted for just under half of all those helping elderly people with loss of autonomy and/or pathologies. Following on from sociological research on close caregivers, this article first looks at the level and influence of children's relationships and assistance towards their elderly parents, and then proposes the construction of a territorial indicator - in this case, a score - to measure the spatial proximity and potential availability of children. Subject to further development, this indicator represents a first milestone in the territorial understanding of children's relationships with and help for their elderly parents.
