This used to be called children, but that was before every generation decided to steal from every other generation. Baby Boomers have the highest standard of living in the history of the world and they still want to steal from their children and grandchildren instead of leaving an inheritance.
Many of my clients dislike the idea of being dependant on the state or on their own children for their care.

Previous generations had larger families and most everyone lived close by.
Today's boomers usually have 2-3 kids and it's not uncommon for them to be more spread out.
