In recent years, interest in the status of the elderly in Asia has grown tremendously, stemming largely from a convergence of rapid demographic and socioeconomic change. Declines in mortality and fertility during the latter half of the twentieth century have led to an increase in the number and proportion of the population at older ages, a trend that will continue to accelerate well into the twenty-first century. Furthermore, the decline in fertility will eventually lead to a reduction in the number of children available to share responsibility for supporting their parents in old age. During this same time, Taiwan experienced dramatic social and economic change. These changes will likely challenge the persistence and strength of longstanding family and household arrangements that have generally been the source of support for the elderly in Taiwan.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In recent years, interest in the status of the elderly in Asia has grown tremendously, stemming largely from a convergence of rapid demographic and socioeconomic change. Declines in mortality and fertility during the latter half of the twentieth century have led to an increase in the number and proportion of the population at older ages, a trend that will continue to accelerate well into the twenty-first century. Furthermore, the decline in fertility will eventually lead to a reduction in the number of children available to share responsibility for supporting their parents in old age. During this same time, Taiwan experienced dramatic social and economic change. These changes will likely challenge the persistence and strength of longstanding family and household arrangements that have generally been the source of support for the elderly in Taiwan.
520 $a Drawing on data from the 1989 Taiwan Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly, this study focuses on the living arrangements of the elderly in relation to their adult children, by examining associations between characteristics of older parents and adult children and their patterns of coresidence. The study extends previous research on living arrangements by adopting an alternative methodological approach that allows for simultaneous consideration of characteristics of parents and all of their children in a multinomial logit framework, and provides a mechanism for modelling interdependencies in the coresidence patterns of children within families.
520 $a Results of the study suggest that, although the prevalence of coresidence with adult children continues to be quite high in Taiwan overall, there is considerable variation in coresidence patterns according to demographic characteristics, socioeconomic and health status, and family composition; many of the findings support hypotheses relating to the impact of life course transitions and the mode of social organization on coresidence choices. The study also finds evidence of substantial interdependency in the coresidence patterns of siblings, which argues for the utility of the simultaneous logit approach in studies of family living arrangements.
