这项研究分析了成年子女如果身体虚弱需要长期护理，会为父母做些什么。描述性统计数据显示，与父母分开居住的成年子女中，约有30%提供长期居家照料，这表明相当数量的日本儿童提供照料。然而，详细的检查表明，这种父母关怀并不完全是出于利他主义。当父母有足够的钱支付护理费用时，孩子们可能会提供父母的照顾。结果表明，随着双收入夫妇数量的增加，他们能够给父母更多的钱，但不能给他们更多的时间。对市场护理服务的潜在需求很大，而且可能会增加。研究结果还表明，仅基于货币转移的实证结果可能具有误导性。应该汇编关于时间和资金转移的经验结果，并为这两种行为之间的任何差异找到解释。
This study analyzes what adult children will do for their parents if they become frail and need long-term care. Descriptive statistics show that about 30 percent of adult children living separately from their parents provide long-term in-home care, which suggests that a significant number of Japanese children supply care. However, detailed examination reveals that this parental care is not motivated entirely by altruism. Children may provide parental care when their parents are wealthy enough to meet the costs of nursing. The results suggest that as the number of dual-income couples increases, they are able to give more money to their parents but not more time. A potentially large demand for market care services exists and will possibly increase. The results also suggest that the empirical results based only on money transfer may be misleading. Empirical results on time as well as money transfer should be compiled, and explanations found for any difference between the two behaviors.
