Major Professor: Donald J. Adamchak.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Kansas State University, 1996.

Late-life intergenerational relationships have drawn considerable interest in past decades, due to demographic transitions and other social changes greatly influencing the micro-level kinship structure and functions in both Western and developing countries (Bengtson 1993).

520 $a Late-life intergenerational relationships have drawn considerable interest in past decades, due to demographic transitions and other social changes greatly influencing the micro-level kinship structure and functions in both Western and developing countries (Bengtson 1993).
520 $a Inspired by Bengtson's theoretical notion of intergenerational solidarity, this study explores the association between normative solidarity (filial responsibility expectations) and functional solidarity (intergenerational exchange) in Chinese urban families. To specify the relation between these two dimensions of family solidarity, a series of individual characteristics such as sex, age, income, health, number of children, and living arrangements were introduced into the analysis models based on theoretical and methodological considerations.
520 $a Survey data were collected from Guangzhou, China in 1990. The results of the regression equations clearly demonstrate that filial expectations have a positive effect on parents' support given, but not support received. The link between normative solidarity and functional solidarity is not necessarily positive. Results also show that support given is the most important predictor for support received from children. Finally, some individual characteristics such as age, sex, income, number of daughters, and living with children have beneficial effects on either support received or support given.
520 $a This evidence clearly suggests that the families in Guangzhou, although normative beliefs have not been discarded, these beliefs cannot be taken for granted as a major driving force for intergenerational exchanges, particularly for elderly support from children. Intergenerational transfers more likely depend on reciprocal effects and they are also characterized by both parents and children's resources, needs, and opportunities. In this sense, the traditional intergenerational contract such as stressing unconditional filial piety, son's support, and a more sustainable flow from children to parents seems to be changing in contemporary Chinese urban families. The implications of the study were related to state policy in elderly support and fertility control. The dissertation ended with some suggestions for future research.
