我们试图确定两年内成年子女对父母的经济援助和转移网络的纵向变化的程度和预测因素。分析依赖于 1994 年至 2000 年健康与退休研究的汇总数据，使用的家庭中兄弟姐妹不超过 4 个的成年子女在两年内为父母提供经济支持。两年期间，大约 40% 的家庭的帮助网络发生了变化。当发生变化时，最常见的是停止一个孩子的抚养，然后在网络中添加另一个孩子，而交换抚养孩子的情况相对较少。变化反映了儿童提供照顾的能力以及父母需求造成的负担。然而，成人-儿童网络以及初始支持小组的规模和组成也发挥了重要作用。结果凸显了代际金融网络的动态性和系统性。
We sought to identify the extent and predictors of longitudinal changes in adult children’s financial assistance to parents and in transfer networks over a two-year period. Analyses rely on pooled data from 1994 to 2000 of the Health and Retirement Study, using families in which adult children with no more than four siblings financially supported parents over two years. Change in the help network occurred in about 40 per cent of these families over the two-year period. When change occurred, it most commonly involved cessation of support by a child, followed by addition of another child to the network, whereas exchange of supporting children was relatively rare. Change reflected children’s ability to provide care and the burden created by parents’ needs. However, the size and composition of the adult-child network and of the initial support group also played an important role. Results highlight the dynamic and systemic nature of intergenerational financial networks.
