Chapter 1 studies three channels in which parents' sectors of employment can have impacts on children's choices of sector of employment. Since the early 1990s, China has undergone a series of economic reforms. Decades later, the success of the reforms differs across cities which partially depends on the entrepreneurship of residents. In this paper, the focus is on the intergenerational impact between employees of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and their children. In particular, this paper studies how employees of SOEs affect their children's entrepreneurship and likelihood to work for private firms. Using the China Household Income Project data, it shows that children of SOE employees are less likely to own their own businesses. An inverse relationship between a father being an SOE employee and the likelihood of a child being an entrepreneur is found. This paper identifies three possible channels that lead to this inverse relationship: risk aversion, income and job loss experience. Chapter 2 reveals the popularity of new types of living arrangements. Some of the living arrangements were frowned upon in the traditional society. It also studies the drive behind the living arrangement and how it affects the property ownership distribution between the married couple. China is known as a patrilineal society with an imbalance of status between different genders. With all the Chinese special policies on population and modernization of the society, household living arrangements and women's status have also experienced changes. This paper focuses on the changes in living arrangements across generations in the past few decades. Using the China Family Panel Surveys data, it shows that the percentage of married couples living with the wife's parents has increased. Such change is linked to the decreased number of sons due to family downsizing. Chapter 3 is an extension of Chapter 2. After observing the increasing trend of married couples living with the wife's parents, this chapter further explores other areas where households of different living arrangements behave differently, especially in women's child caring and work behavior. Women from newer types of living arrangements gain more advantage in house ownership. The results also show that women who do not cohabit with any parents or in-laws breastfed for less time than women who cohabit with their parents or in-laws. Meanwhile, women from non-cohabiting households spend less time at work compared to women who cohabit with parents or in-laws. This is important for the married couples and their parents. As the One Child Policy has been relaxed, living arrangements perhaps face many changes ahead and so does the wellbeing of married couples, their parents and their children. This chapter points out certain areas to look at and provide provisions for.
