使用健康与退休研究的三波数据，我研究了父母离婚和再婚与亲生成年子女向虚弱的父母提供个人护理和经济援助的几率之间的关联。这项分析包括母亲样本中的5099名成年子女和父亲样本中的4029名儿童。结果表明，离婚父母的成年子女与丧偶父母的成年子女一样有可能给母亲提供照顾和金钱，但前者照顾父亲的可能性低于后者。研究结果表明，离异父亲往往是晚年最需要正式赡养的人群。
Using three waves of data from the Health and Retirement Study, I examined the association of parental divorce and remarriage with the odds that biological, adult children give personal care and financial assistance to their frail parents. The analysis included 5,099 adult children in the mother sample and 4,029 children in the father sample. Results indicate that adult children of divorced parents are just as likely as adult children of widowed parents to give care and money to their mothers, but the former are less likely than the latter to care for their fathers. The findings suggest that divorced fathers are prone to be the population most in need of formal support in old age.
