项目摘要

Using the National Family Research of Japan 1998 and 2003, this research has examined how the co-residency of parents and young adult children affects the levels of parents'satisfaction and the satisfaction of their young adult children. We extend the analysis to examine whether or not there are any gender effects related to co-residence. In order to estimate the impact of co-residence, we estimate the average treatment effects of the treated by the propensity score matching method. It is found that co-residence with their young adult child reduces both the level of life satisfaction and marital satisfaction of Japanese parents. In particular, the negative satisfaction of parents stems from mothers' dissatisfaction with co-residing with an adult son. In contrast, co-residence with an adult daughter does not reduce the satisfaction of either parent. Surprisingly, the life satisfaction of young adult children is not affected by their co-residence with their parents. Moreover, we find that financial transfers from an adult child to his/her parents increase the probability of co-residence, but financial transfers from parents to their child have no effect on the probability of co-residence. As a result, the 'bribe' model is not valid in Japan, and it is more likely that Japanese parents gain rent payments in exchange for co-residency.

本研究利用1998年和2003年的日本国家家庭研究，考察了父母和子女的同居对父母满意度和子女满意度的影响。我们将分析扩展到检验是否存在与同居有关的性别影响。为了估计同居的影响，我们用倾向分数匹配法估计了被治疗者的平均治疗效果。研究发现，与年幼的成年子女同居会降低日本父母的生活满意度和婚姻满意度。特别是，父母的负面满意度源于母亲对与成年儿子同居的不满。相比之下，与成年女儿同居并不会降低父母中任何一方的满意度。令人惊讶的是，青壮年子女的生活满意度并不受与父母同居的影响。此外，我们发现，从成年子女向其父母的经济转移增加了同居的概率，但从父母向其子女的经济转移对同居的概率没有影响。因此，贿赂模式在日本是无效的，日本父母更有可能通过支付房租来换取同居。
