Book excerpt: We use an event-study approach to examine changes in intergenerational financial transfers and informal care within families following wealth loss, job exit, widowhood, and health shocks. We find sharp reductions in parental giving to adult children following negative shocks to parents' wealth and earned income, particularly in low-wealth households. Parental giving also decreases with some health shocks and increases following spousal death. Meanwhile, children of low-wealth households increase financial transfers to their parents following adverse shocks and children in both high- and low-wealth households increase their provision of informal care to parents following a wide range of adverse shocks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging is a process that encompasses virtually all aspects of life. Because the speed of population aging is accelerating, and because the data needed to study the aging process are complex and expensive to obtain, it is imperative that countries coordinate their research efforts to reap the most benefits from this important information. Preparing for an Aging World looks at the behavioral and socioeconomic aspects of aging, and focuses on work, retirement, and pensions; wealth and savings behavior; health and disability; intergenerational transfers; and concepts of well-being. It makes recommendations for a collection of new, cross-national data on aging populationsâ€"data that will allow nations to develop policies and programs for addressing the major shifts in population age structure now occurring. These efforts, if made internationally, would advance our understanding of the aging process around the world.
Download or read book Inter generational Financial Giving and Inequality written by Karen Rowlingson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a major contribution to our understanding of 21st century families in Britain through an exploration of intergenerational relationships. Drawing on new and extensive quantitative and qualitative research, the authors explore the giving and receiving of financial gifts. Despite growing concern about intergenerational tension and even possible conflict, the book finds evidence of a significant degree of intergenerational solidarity both within families at the micro level and between generations more generally within society at the macro level in Britain. However, given substantial inequalities within different generations as a result, in particular, of social class divisions, some families are able to support each other far more than others. This means that strong intergenerational solidarity may lead to the entrenchment of existing intragenerational inequalities. The book will be of interest to scholars and students researching Sociology, Social Policy, Family Sociology, Generations and Intergenerational Relationships.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Scholars have shown that intergenerational transfers positively affect the recipient's wealth. However, no one had considered how these types of transfers affect the wealth of the donor. The purpose of my dissertation was to determine if parents compromise their own economic well-being as a result of having children and engaging in financial transfers to them. I defined economic well-being as overall net worth, financial assets, and housing net worth. Financial transfers to children are defined as investments in children's education. By examining the effects of a relatively common and discretionary transfer to children, we gain a broad understanding of the effects of transfers on wealth, a previously overlooked topic in the sociology of wealth. I use the Health and Retirement Survey (1992), a nationally representative biennial longitudinal survey of person born between 1931 and 1941, to examine these relationships. Comparing wealth outcomes for households with and without children I was able to demonstrate that there are no long-term negative financial consequences associated with having children. Shifting the focus to differences among parents in their level of financial support of their children, I found that investing in children's education has positive effects on overall net worth and housing net worth. Finally, I examined these relationships separately for white, black, and Hispanic households in order to determine if there were racial or ethnic differences in the effects of having children and investing in their children's education on wealth. I found that while there were no substantive differences in the effects of having children on wealth by race or ethnicity, there differences in the effects of educational expenditures.
Download or read book Linking Lifetimes written by Matt Kaplan and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many developing and post-industrialized nations, there are powerful demographic and social changes that are endangering the natural ways that old and young have traditionally interacted. The current growth in the young and elderly segments of the population, of most countries, is leading to new challenges in terms of providing health care, education, financial support, and social support systems for the young as well as the elderly. An important set of strategies for addressing these trends and the quality of life concerns they generate is the facilitation of intergenerational programs. The National Council on the Aging has defined "intergenerational programming" as "activities or programs that increase cooperation, interaction or exchange between any two generations." In Linking Lifetimes, the contributors explore the range of intergenerational programs and policies found across the globe, and examine their role in ensuring the transmission of cultural values from generation to generation. By illustrating the rich diversity of intergenerational program models, the contributors discover how the common goal of promoting intergenerational interaction and understanding unfolds into differential trends, social issues, and human service systems.

Download or read book Housing Finance and Intergenerational Wealth Transfer written by Edwin Deutsch and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sheds light on intrafamilial gifts for housing. By using Austrian intergenerational survey data various questions are addressed. First, is familial aid more or less widespread in given social strata? Second, what are the determinants and motives for family gifts? And third, what are the possible impacts on the choice set of their recipients? Probit estimates show that gifts significantly depend on the parents lifetime financial position, consistent with life cycle permanent income (LCPI) approaches. Gifts to remove liquidity constraints are more difficult to reconcile with LCPI. quot;Dynasticquot; gifts that support household formation and ownership acquisition may be interpreted as intergenerational exchange. They occur more frequently than periodical cash transfers where altruistic behavior cannot be ruled out.

Book excerpt: Black and Latino families are in fact highly family-oriented and want to be involved in exchange networks but, because they are economically disenfranchised, they are prevented from participation. The vitriolic debate on welfare reform currently sweeping the nation assumes that if institutional mechanisms of social support are eliminated, impoverished families will simply rely on an extensive web of kinship networks for their survival. The political discourse surrounding poverty and welfare reform has an increasingly racial undertone. Implementation of social policy that presupposes the availability of family safety nets in minority communities could have disastrous consequences for many without extended kin networks. Many scholars and political analysts assume that thriving kin and non-kin social support networks continue to characterize minority family life. Policy recommendations based on these underlying assumptions may lead to the implementation of harmful social policy. No More Kin examines extended kinship networks among African American, Chicano, Puerto-Rican, and non-Hispanic white families in contemporary America and seeks to provide an integrated theoretical framework for examining how the simultaneity of gender, race, and class oppression affects minority family organization. Breaking new ground in a variety of fields, No More Kin is sure to become a valuable resource for students and professionals in family studies, gender studies, and race/ethnic studies.
Download or read book Parent child Exchanges of Supports and Intergenerational Equity written by Leroy O. Stone and published by Micromedia. This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the consequences of including private exchanges of supports when evaluating whether there is inter-generational equity in Canada? This general question is the focus of the analysis, which presents related information concerning the exchange of supports between parents and their children. Using the data from the General Social Survey, the book addresses questions related to the general one cited above. When we study intra-familial exchanges of supports how strong are the indications that parents and children adhere to definitions of "inter-generational equity" that are the same as or consistent with the dominant ones found in the major debates? When we study intra-familial exchanges of supports how strong are the indications that children give more to their parents than they receive, due to government income transfer programs? To what extent does the composition of the determinants of flows of inter-generational supports change when private intra-familial exchanges are brought into the scope of measurement of such flows, and what do the potential degrees of compositional shift portend for the assessment of what a given generation provides to others in terms of supports, and hence what it is owed in return for that provision? To what extent do the grounds of the debates concerning inter-generational equity need to be shifted once one takes into account private intra-familial exchanges of supports?

Download or read book China s Revolutions and Intergenerational Relations written by Martin Whyte and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s Revolutions and Intergenerational Relations counters the widely accepted notion that traditional family patterns are weakened by forces such as economic development and social revolutions. China has experienced wrenching changes on both the economic and the political fronts, yet from the evidence presented here the tradition of filial respect and support for aging parents remains alive and well. Using collaborative surveys carried out in 1994 in the middle-sized industrial city of Baoding and comparative data from urban Taiwan, the authors examine issues shaping the relationships between adult Chinese children and their elderly parents. The continued vitality of intergenerational support and filial obligations in these samples is not simply an instance of strong Confucian tradition trumping powerful forces of change. Instead, and somewhat paradoxically, the continued strength of filial obligations can be attributed largely to the institutions of Chinese socialism forged in the era of Mao Zedong. With socialist institutions now under assault in the People’s Republic of China, the future of intergenerational relations in the twenty-first century is once again uncertain.
