The purpose of this study is to examine the preference for living with adult children of the baby-boomer generation and the elderly based on independent variables such as demographic characteristics, the values of their children and the consciousness for supporting their parents. The National Survey of Korean Families was done by the Ministry of Equality and Family in 2010. Respondents were 664 baby boomers and 628 elderly, and the results are as follows. First, the baby boomers rely heavily on their spouse, whereas the elderly rely heavily on their children. While both groups desire to live with their spouse in their later years, and the elderly rely the most on their children, they are reluctant to live together. This result shows that the elderly have high expectations for financial and emotional support from their children, but in reality, the elderly have lower expectations for living together and they prefer to live alone or with their spouse. Second, the boomers, who for the most part live in big cities, have comparatively high average monthly income and jobs and own a house, consider filial obligation as their own responsibility and yet tend to live independently. The boomers, who have a relatively high education level, consider living with aged parents as the children's obligation and consider their children as the most reliable people in their lives, and thus have high expectations to live together with their children. Third, the elderly, with a spouse, who consider having raised children to be their happiness, while considering providing financial support for the aging parents to be the children's responsibility, at the same time accept that the obligation of support lies on themselves, the government or the society, and thus have lower expectations of living with their children in later years. The elderly, now living with their family, with generous financial plans for their aging years and considering the children's success as their own success, have higher expectations of living together with their children.

본 연구는 노인부양에 관한 부부간 의사결정 과정에서 부양의 주체인 여성 배우자의 의사결정 파워가 실제 노인부양참여를 위한 결정에 어떤 역할을 하고 있는지 알아보기 위하여 미국내 중고령층을 대상으로 한 2002년 HRS(Health and Retirement Study) 자료를 사용하여 실증분석하였다. 또한 이 연구에서는 배우자 양쪽의 부모로부터 동시에 부양의 역할이 요구되었을 때 부부간 교섭력(Bargaining Power)을 대표할 수 있는 여성의 경제력과 교육수준이 부양결정에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 다항 로짓 분석 (Multinomial Logit) 분석을 사용하여 검증하였다. 분석결과는 부부의 노부모 부양결정은 부부간 교섭력 보다는 양쪽 부모의 상대적 건강상태, 재정상태, 그리고 간호를 위한 대체 인적자원의 여부등에 의존하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 남성과는 다르게, 여성의 연령과 노동참여는 여성 자신의 노부모 부양결정에 결코 부적 영향을 주지 않았으며, 또한 양쪽 부모로 부터 동시에 부양참여가 요구되었을때 성인자녀가족의 부양결정은 같은 조건이라면 여성배우자쪽 부모의 부양에 보다 더 적극적으로 반응하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
