Abstract

Many European studies find that immigrants and the native population differ in their long-term care use. These differences have been attributed to immigrants' cultural preferences, among others. However, the cultural integration process of immigrants may result in a potential caregiving conflict between foreign-born immigrants' preferences for long-term care and their children's willingness to provide long-term care. In this study, we empirically assess to what extent cultural factors that prevail in foreign-born immigrants' country of origin are reflected in their children's value of informal care. Using data from the German Family Panel and the World Values Survey/European Values Study, we regressed second-generation immigrants' value of informal care on the cultural strength of family ties that prevails in their parents' country of birth. Probit models were estimated and individual characteristics were accounted for. The results show that second-generation immigrants who originate from cultures with stronger family ties are more likely to express a high value of informal care than second-generation immigrants who come from cultures with weaker family ties. We conclude that immigrants' values of informal care are deeply shaped by their country of origin. Policy makers should keep immigrants' needs and preferences in mind when implementing long-term care interventions. The same set of long-term care interventions can have very different effects, depending on immigrants' values.

文化特质与第二代移民的非正式关怀价值。
许多欧洲研究发现,移民和本地人口在长期护理使用方面存在差异。这些差异被归因于移民的文化偏好等因素。然而,移民的文化融合过程可能导致外国出生移民对长期照顾的偏好与子女提供长期照顾的意愿之间存在潜在的照顾冲突。在本研究中,我们实证评估了外国出生移民原籍国普遍存在的文化因素在多大程度上反映在其子女的非正式照顾价值中。使用来自德国家庭小组和世界价值观调查/欧洲价值观研究的数据,我们回归了第二代移民对父母出生国普遍存在的家庭关系的文化强度的非正式照顾的价值。估计概率模型并考虑个体特征。结果显示,来自较强家庭关系文化的第二代移民比来自较弱家庭关系文化的第二代移民更有可能表达出较高的非正式关怀价值。我们得出的结论是,移民对非正式关怀的价值观深受其原籍国的影响。政策制定者在实施长期护理干预措施时应牢记移民的需求和偏好。根据移民的价值观,同样的一套长期护理干预措施可能会产生截然不同的效果。补充信息:在线版本包含补充资料,下载地址:10.1007/s10433-022-00730-1。

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Ageing: Social, Behavioural and Health Perspectives is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the understanding of ageing in European societies and the world over. EJA publishes original articles on the social, behavioral and population health aspects of ageing and encourages an integrated approach between these aspects. Emphasis is put on publishing empirical research (including meta-analyses), but conceptual papers (including narrative reviews) and methodological contributions will also be considered. EJA welcomes expert opinions on critical issues in ageing. By stimulating communication between researchers and those using research findings, it aims to contribute to the formulation of better policies and the development of better practice in serving older adults. To further specify, with the term ''social'' is meant the full scope of social science of ageing related research from the micro to the macro level of analysis. With the term ''behavioural'' the full scope of psychological ageing research including life span approaches based on a range of age groups from young to old is envisaged. The term ''population health-related'' denotes social-epidemiological and public health oriented research including research on functional health in the widest possible sense.
