FAMILY EXPERIENCES AND THE EROSION OF SUPPORT FOR INTERGENERATIONAL CORESIDENCE

We rest the affluence interpretation of the decline in intergeneration al coresidence, which implicitly affirms that close kin would still of fer housing to those in need, by examining the factors that influence attitudes about coresidence with young adult children and aging parent s. Using national data, we model the effects of living in a multigener ational household in childhood and living independently from parents p rior to marriage on respondents' obligation to allow aging parents and adult children who are in need to coreside. We find strong effects of living arrangements experiences on attitudes that differ by the type of intergenerational coresidence.
