理由：过去几十年来，没有成年子女的老年父母人数急剧增加。然而，最近的趋势加剧了大衰退，导致增加代际co-resident.Methods：我们使用了三波数据（2004-2010年）从健康，老龄化和退休调查在欧洲（共享）收集周围的大衰退，以评估代际co-residence对心理健康的影响在以后的生活（n = 50,043）。我们使用工具变量（IV）方法，利用大衰退期间成年子女就业机会的变化，研究与成年子女共同居住对使用Euro-D抑郁量表测量的抑郁评分的影响。结果：北方国家老年人的同居率和抑郁率都较低，而东欧和南欧的大多数国家的同居率和抑郁率都很高。在控制测量特征的OLS模型中，与成年子女共同居住与老年父母的抑郁症状无关（β = -0.0387; 95%CI-0.0892至0.0118）。相比之下，IV模型的结果表明，与成年儿童共同居住在12项量表上的抑郁症状显著降低了0.731分（95%CI-1.261至-0.200）。结果是强大的一系列的鲁棒性检查，包括控制儿童特征，国家特定的时间趋势，并分析仅限于homeowner.Conclusions：我们的研究结果表明，在高失业率的背景下，在欧洲大衰退期间，成年子女和老年父母之间的代际交流增加的形式共同居住有积极的心理健康影响老年父母。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Rationale: The number of older parents living without adult children has increased dramatically over the last decades. However, recent trends exacerbated by the Great Recession have led to an increase in intergenerational co-residing.Methods: We used three waves of data (2004-2010) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) collected around the Great Recession to assess the effects of intergenerational co-residence on mental health in later life (n = 50,043). We used an instrumental variable (IV) approach that exploits changes in employment opportunities of adult children during the Great Recession to examine the impact of co-residing with adult children on depression scores measured using the Euro-D scale of depression.Results: Northern European countries exhibited low levels of both co-residence and depression in older age, while most countries in Eastern and Southern Europe had high levels of both co-residence and depression. In OLS models that controlled for measured characteristics, co-residing with an adult child was not associated with depressive symptoms in older parents (beta = -0.0387; 95% CI -0.0892 to 0.0118). By contrast, results from IV models suggest that co-residing with an adult child significantly reduces depressive symptoms by 0.731 points (95% CI -1.261 to -0.200) on the 12-item scale. Results were robust to a series of robustness checks including controls for child characteristics, country-specific time trends, and analyses restricted to homeowners.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that, in the context of high unemployment rates during the Great Recession in Europe, increased intergenerational exchange between adult children and older parents in the form of co-residence had positive mental health effects on older parents.
