Multigenerational Household

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: When two or more adult generations share the same living unit. The quintessential example of the trope is Four Generations Under One Roof by Lao She, but many East Asian stories set before the mid-to-late 20th century feature this trope whether they make a point to or not. Very much Truth in Television in many cultures, but nowadays often played for comedic effect.

Literature

 * The Buendias in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude live this trope. If I'm not mistaken, at one point five generations are living together.

 * Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The bed full of grandparents.

Live Action TV

 * The Waltons
 * In the early series of Only Fools and Horses brothers Del and Rodney share their flat with their Grandfather. Following Granddad's funeral, his estranged brother Uncle Albert moves in.

 * This also applies to American Soap Operas.

Western Animation

 * Mulan
 * In Rugrats, Grandpa Lou lives with Tommy's family. He does move out for one episode, to a retirement home, but it's not all it's cracked up to be, and he moves back. (Later in the series, he got married, and moved in with Tommy's new grandma.)
 * Clans of Gargoyles tend to be like this. The London Clan for example has them in age range of the equivalent of nine to nearly 100 years plus some eggs.

Real Life

 * Becoming increasingly common even in Western countries due to the recession. Many students/grandparents who would be living on their own move back to a family members house often. `
 * For most Asian cultures, the idea of leaving your beloved parents to care for themselves or in a nursing home is distasteful to put it lightly. It is something of a role reversal. As your parents took care of you, it would be nice if you did the same for them in their old age. Of course, there's no law that says someone should especially if the parents are capable of caring for themselves or if the children can't afford it.
 * The same is true in the Middle East (including North Africa).
 * Also true for places in South Asia.
 * S'matter of fact, the Chinese authorities are having a freak-out over the loss of respect for one's elders; children go to their parents strictly to ask for stuff, then put their parents and grandparents in nursing homes.
 * The very high birthrate in Saudi Arabia combined with the traditions there results in four or even five generations living under a single roof.
