“…Also, upper-class parents tend to talk to their children more than working-class parents do, which favors analytical thinking; therefore, higher-status parents prepare their children for higher education and higher-status jobs (Nisbett, 2009). However, De Jong-Gierveld, Liefbroer, andBeekink (1991) found that in the process leading to autonomy and independence, the relevant distinction is between transferrable and non-transferrable resources rather than between material and non-material. Others, following a radically different point of view, posit that the association between parents' socioeconomic status and young adult outcomes may also reflect the intergenerational transmission of genetic traits, such as intelligence or motivation (Guldi, Page, & Stevens, 2007).…”

“…Existing studies commonly link demographic, situational-biographical, and family-of-origin characteristics to home-leaving behavior in single societies (de Jong Gierveld, Liefbroer, and Beekink 1991;Goldscheider, Thornton, and Young-DeMarco 1993;Goldscheider and Goldscheider 1994, 1998Raymore, Barber, and Eccles 2001;Thornton, Young-DeMarco, and Goldscheider 1993;Sandberg-Thoma, Snyder, and Jang 2015;Ting and Chiu 2002;Huang 2013;Jacob and Kleinert 2008;Juang, Silbereisen, and Wiesner 1999;Windzio 2011). Cross-national comparative analysis is less common and often concentrates on culturally homogeneous areas such as Europe or East Asia (Aassve et al 2002;Aassve, Arpino, and Billari 2013;Billari, Philipov, and Baizán 2001;Holdsworth 2000;Iacovou 2002Iacovou , 2010Le Blanc and Wolff 2006;Mulder, Clark, and Wagner 2002;Wolbers 2007;Chu, Xie, and Yu 2011).…”

OBJECTIVEThis paper aims to explain societal differences in the event of leaving the parental home as part of the transition to adulthood, in the United States, Germany, China, and Taiwan. It proposes bridge hypotheses between societal characteristics such as kinship system and welfare regime and home-leaving behavior, and tests them with nationally representative panel studies. METHODSFour panel studies (NLSY97 for the USA; PAIRFAM for Germany; CFPS for China; TYP for Taiwan) were harmonized for similar cohorts, with an age span of 15 to 30 years. Testing was based on age-specific tabulations of household composition and separate discrete-time event history models. RESULTSThe prevalence of home-leaving is highest in the United States, followed by Germany, China, and then Taiwan. Timing is earlier in the United States than in Germany, and earlier in China than in Taiwan. Gender-specific coincidence of home-leaving with entry into higher education, the work force, cohabitation, and marriage can be conclusively related to differences in kinship system and welfare regime, and regional opportunity disparities.

“…This is consistent with the leaving home literature as well. Richer parents have more to offer in terms of living space and material comfort to children (De Jong-Gierveld et al 1991).…”

A Comparative Perspective on Intergenerational Support

It has often been argued that Southern European countries are more familialistic in their culture than Western and Northern European countries. In this paper, we examine this notion by testing the hypothesis that adult children are more responsive to the needs of their elderly parents in countries with more familialistic attitudes. To test this hypothesis, we analyse the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). We focus on three indicators of need: (a) the partner status of the parent, (b) the health status of the parent, and (c) the education of the parent. Using Heckman probit models, we examine the effects of these variables on whether or not the parent receives instrumental support from children, thereby controlling for whether or not children live independently from their parents. We estimate effects of need on support and we compare these effects across 10 European countries, using both graphic devices and a multilevel probit model where individuals are nested in countries. We find significant cross-level interactions of need variables and the degree of familialism in a country. Our analyses, thereby provide more positive evidence for the hypothesis than earlier studies, which have focused largely on comparing aggregate levels of support among countries.
