DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rising proportions of elderly persons in developing countries are coinciding with slow progress in addressing poor levels of nutrition, schooling and health amongst young people. In both public and private domains, critical investments in children increasingly compete with the need to support elderly parents. Within this context, the objective of this study is to advance understanding of the role played by public policy, private resources, preferences, exogenous shocks and markets - and the interactions amongst these factors - in the allocation of resources across three generations in Guatemala. The setting is four villages in the Orient (Eastern) region and the localities to where people from these communities migrated. A unique feature of our interdisciplinary study - our research team draws anthropology, demography, economics, epidemiology, nutrition, and psychology - is that it builds upon more than 30 years of data collection and interaction with these communities. Together with survey work undertaken as part of this study, we will have data on the allocation of resources across three generations: elderly parents, their children who are now themselves middle-aged parents and their grandchildren. Ours will be the first study to link prospectively collected data on investments in children's human capital with subsequent transfers and investments between these individuals and both their aging parents and with their own offspring. Middle-aged parents face a trade-off in the allocation of time to work, to elder and child care, and to leisure and in the allocation of income to their own consumption, to meeting the consumption needs of their elderly parents, and investments in the human capital of their children. Accordingly, analysis focuses on how this allocation problem is conditioned by factors such as: altruism; resources available to elderly parents and their middle-aged children; access to markets for capital and for services; shocks - including health shocks - experienced by all three generations; attitudes towards inequality in outcomes amongst children and the extent of their replication across generations. We adopt a broad view of these allocations, considering transfers of money, goods, care and attention and co-residence. We consider how these interactions are gender-differentiated and how siblings resolve the collective action problem associated with caring for elderly parents. We also analyze the consequences of these interactions for the well-being of the elderly and the young. Well-being is broadly defined to include for the elderly: physical and mental health, access to preventive/curative health care as well satisfaction with health status, social resources, and economic resources. For the young, we consider health status, nutrition, schooling progress and cognitive development.

描述（由申请人提供）：发展中国家老年人的比例不断上升，与此同时，在解决年轻人营养、教育和健康水平低下问题方面进展缓慢。在公共和私人领域，对儿童的重要投资日益与赡养老年父母的需要竞争。在此背景下，本研究的目标是促进对公共政策，私人资源，偏好，外部冲击和市场所发挥的作用的理解-以及这些因素之间的相互作用-在危地马拉三代人的资源分配。背景是东方（东部）地区的四个村庄以及这些社区的人们迁移到的地方。我们的跨学科研究的一个独特之处-我们的研究团队绘制人类学，人口学，经济学，流行病学，营养学和心理学-是它建立在30多年的数据收集和与这些社区的互动。连同作为这项研究的一部分进行的调查工作，我们将获得关于三代人资源分配的数据：老年父母、他们的子女（现在自己也是中年父母）和他们的孙辈。我们的研究将是第一个将前瞻性收集的儿童人力资本投资数据与这些人与其年迈的父母及其子女之间的后续转移和投资联系起来的研究。 中年父母在分配工作时间、照顾老人和子女时间、休闲时间以及分配收入用于自己消费、满足老年父母的消费需求和投资于子女的人力资本方面面临权衡。因此，分析的重点是这一分配问题如何受到下列因素的制约：利他主义;老年父母及其中年子女可获得的资源;进入资本和服务市场的机会;三代人都经历的冲击-包括健康冲击;对儿童之间结果不平等的态度及其在几代人之间复制的程度。我们对这些分配采取一种广义的观点，考虑到金钱、货物、照料和照顾以及共同居住的转移。我们认为这些互动是如何性别差异化，以及兄弟姐妹如何解决集体行动的问题与照顾年迈的父母。我们还分析了这些相互作用对老年人和年轻人福祉的影响。福祉的广义定义包括老年人的身心健康、获得预防/治疗保健的机会以及对健康状况、社会资源和经济资源的满意度。对于年轻人，我们考虑的是健康状况、营养、学业进展和认知发展。
