摘要

大多数关于年迈父母对其家庭成员的财务转移的研究都集中在赠予者和受赠者之间，通常是在年迈父母和成年子女之间。本研究的目的是利用自我中心网络视角(即配置方法)调查老年人在代际二代之外的经济支持。数据来自来自Vivre/Leben/Vivere研究的2,991名老年人(65岁及以上)的样本，这是一项针对瑞士老年人家庭生活和健康状况的大型调查。我们使用沃尔德检验和回归分析来确定财务转移如何与晚年的家庭网络属性相关。研究结果表明，高龄父母提供经济支持的倾向与家庭内部实际帮助交换的密度(主要是男性)以及他们在家庭结构中的地位(主要是女性)和角色有关。

Financial support by older adults to family members: a configurational perspective

Abstract Most research on financial inter vivos transfers from older parents to their family members is focused on the giver–receiver dyad, usually between an older parent and an adult child. This study aimed to investigate older adults' financial support beyond this level of intergenerational dyads using an egocentric network perspective (i.e., the configurational approach). Data were from a sample of 2,991 older adults (aged 65 and older) from the Vivre/Leben/Vivere study, a large survey addressing family life and health conditions of older people in Switzerland. We used Wald tests and regression analyses to identify how financial transfers are related to family network properties in later life. Findings showed that older parents' propensity to provide financial support is associated with the density of practical help exchanges within the family (mainly for men) and with the position (mainly for women) and the role they play within their family configuration.

期刊介绍： Demographic variables such as fertility, mortality, migration and family structures notably respond to economic incentives and in turn affect the economic development of societies. Journal of Demographic Economics welcomes both empirical and theoretical papers on issues relevant to Demographic Economics with a preference for combining abstract economic or demographic models together with data to highlight major mechanisms. The journal was first published in 1929 as Bulletin de l’Institut des Sciences Economiques. It later became known as Louvain Economic Review, and continued till 2014 to publish under this title. In 2015, it moved to Cambridge University Press, increased its international character and changed its focus exclusively to demographic economics.
