Overview

Study reveals significant regional variations in intergenerational coresidence rates among older adults, indicating socioeconomic influences.

Key Points

  • Coresidence rates among older adults in China vary significantly, from 20% to 86%, depending on the region.
  • Individual factors account for only 8% of coresidence variation, while regional factors like agricultural employment have a stronger influence.
  • Analysis utilized data from the 2000 Chinese Census, examining coresidence patterns of 871,123 older adults across 340 prefectures.
  • Findings suggest that modern urban centres may adapt to changing demographics by sustaining higher intergenerational coresidence.
