Family experiences and the erosion of support for intergenerational coresidence

Article Abstract:

The role of increases in affluence in the decline of support for intergenerational coresidence was investigated. Data from the National Survey of Families and Households were analyzed to identify factors that influence attitudes toward coresidence with young adult children and aging parents. Empirical results showed that the experience of living with grandparents does not affect support for coresidence with aging parents, although this observation is not true for the experience of living with parents.
