在欧洲，平均而言，偶尔帮助父母做家务的成年子女是定期提供身体护理的成年子女的三倍。考虑到这两种支持之间的巨大差异，这并不奇怪。照顾是根据需要而定的，而帮助往往是在有机会时偶尔提供的。在南欧的家庭福利国家，几乎没有专业支助，由儿童提供照料的可能性更大，而北欧的父母更有可能在家庭或与当局打交道时得到帮助。Logistic多层次模型使这些差异能够追溯到各个国家的社会和保健服务的提供情况。有一个拥挤的帮助孩子给他们的父母，但挤出的身体护理。总之，根据健康、老龄化和退休调查数据得出的结果支持专业化假设：专业提供者接管了医疗要求高的常规身体护理，而家庭更有可能提供要求较低的自发帮助。每个人都做他们最擅长的。因此，发达的服务系统往往在数量和质量上都能保证对老年人的全面照顾。
In Europe, on average, three times as many adult children occasionally help their parents with the housekeeping than do provide regular physical care. This is not surprising, considering the great differences between these two types of support. Care follows needs, whereas help tends to be given sporadically when one has the opportunity. In the familial welfare states in Southern Europe, where little professional support is available, provision of care by children is more likelywhereas parents in the north are more likely to receive help in the household or in dealing with the authorities. Logistic multi-level models enable these differences to be traced back to the availability of social and health services in the individual countries. There is a crowding in of the help children give their parents, but a crowding out of physical care. Overall, the results based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement data thus support the specialization hypothesis: professional providers take over the medically demanding and regular physical care, whereas the family is more likely to provide the less demanding, spontaneous help. Everyone does what they do best. The overall care of older people thus tends to be assured both quantitatively and qualitatively by well-developed service systems.
