본 연구는 세대 간 거주근접성이 성인자녀가 중고령부모에게 제공하는 경제적 자원이전과 어떠한 관련성이 있는지, 세대간 거주근접성과 경제적 자원이전의 관계가 자녀의 성별에 따라 차이가 나타나는지 살펴보았다. 자녀 본인 뿐 아니라 형제자매의 거주근접성 역시 고려되었다. 미국 등 국외 선행연구는 근거리에 거주하는 형제자매가 제공하는 도구적 지원을 보완하기 위해 원거리에 거주하는 자녀의 경제적 지원수준이 높을 것으로 보았다. 데이터는 한국고령화연구패널 5차(2014)자료를 활용하였으며 연구대상은 부모의 연령이 60세 이상이고 자녀의 연령은 35세에서 55세 사이로 부모가 자녀와 동거하는 경우 분석에서 제외되었다. 부모의 경우 부부가구이거나 배우자와 사별한 독거가구로 구분하였다. 고정효과모형과 확률효과모형으로 가족내 분석을 실시하였고 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 부모와 30분 이내 거리에 거주하거나 혹은 1시간 이상 2시간 이내 거리에 거주하는 경우 아들의 경제적 지원액이 딸보다 많았다. 둘째, 선행연구 결과와 달리, 형제자매를 포함하여 모든 자녀가 부모와 1시간 이상 거리에 거주할 때 아들과 딸 성별의 구분 없이 경제적 지원액이 높았다. 세대간 거주근접성과 경제적 자원이전의 관련성은 배우자와 사별한 1인가구 부모가 경제적 지원의 수혜자인 경우 나타나지 않았다.

Objective: This study examined correlates of residential proximity between parents and non-coresident married children. A majority of existing studies on intergenerational living arrangement has focused on exploring factors that are associated with intergenerational coresidence only, despite an increasing number of parents and children who do not live together but close by. Because residential proximity facilitates frequent contacts and support exchanges between the two generations, it is important to understand its correlates. Method: The data were drawn from first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006), a nationally representative sample of adults 45 years or older and their spouses. The analytic sample consisted of 3,950 parents with 10,946 non-coresident married children. Both regression with robust standard errors and sibling fixed effects regression models were estimated using the reg and xtreg procedures in STATA. Results: Younger, less depressed, and more physically impaired parents lived closer to at least one of their married children (within a 30-minute distance by public transportation). Fathers (compared to mothers), parents living in cities (compared to those living in rural areas), parents with at least one co-resident child or fewer numbers of married children tended to have at least one married child living nearby. With regard to child characteristics, married children who were less educated, homeowners, and had more children lived closer to their parents. Also, sons (compared to daughters) lived in closer distance to their parents. Conclusion: Overall, findings suggest that intergenerational residential proximity may primarily be motivated by the childcare needs of married children or parents' needs for assistance with functional impairment. Also, the traditional patrilineal norms of intergenerational support may still be a critical factor in residential decisions as observed in the difference between married sons and daughters in proximity to their parents.

Objectives: This study examined the effects of residential proximity to adult children on the mental and physical health of middle-aged and older parents. The study also evaluated whether the parental age and gender of the adult child in closest proximity to the parent might moderate the association. Method: Data were drawn from five waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging(2006-2014). The analytic sample consisted of 7,359 parents aged 45 or older who had at least one non-coresidential adult child aged 19 or older. The analyses were conducted by estimating a series of fixed effects models while adjusting for the nested structure of the data. Results: The results showed that first, a closer distance between an adult child and the parent was generally associated with the parent experiencing a decrease in depressive symptoms. Yet, the mental health benefit was smaller for parents aged 65 years or older whose closest living adult child was a son. Second, a closer distance was observed to affect chronic illness only among middle-aged parents (aged 45 to 64). When the closest living adult child was a daughter, the middle-aged parent experienced deterioration in their chronic illness. On the other hand, the opposite pattern was observed when the closest living adult child was a son. Conclusions: The parental age and gender of the adult child in closest proximity to the parent might have varying effects on parents' health. A closer distance between an adult child and their parent has a positive impact on the mental health of the parent as a whole, whereas the effect of living closer was mixed in relation to the parental physical health.

노인 부모와 자녀 사이의 지리적 근접성은 각 세대가 고유하게 경험하는 생애이력의 조건과 밀접한 연관을 갖는다. 이 논문에서는 1990년대 초기 미국과 1980년대 후기 일본에서 노인 부모와 중장년 자녀의 생애이력 조건이 세대간 지리적 근접성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 또한 이들 영향의 사회간 유사성과 차이점은 무엇인지를 비교 연구한다. 미국과 일본에서 보이는 세대간 근접성은 상당히 차이를 보이고 있다. 1993년 70세 이상의 미국 백인계 노인 중 약 절반이 그들의 자녀중 한명과 10마일 이내의 가까운 거리에서 살고 있고 나머지 자녀와는 멀리 떨어져 살고 있다. 일본에서 보이는 지리적 가족망은 좀더 위계적이다. 1989년 70세 이상의 일본 노인 중 74%가 한 명의 자녀와 같이 살고 있고 나머지 자녀들과는 멀리 떨어져 살고 있다. 여기에서는 두 사회에서 보이는 부모-자녀간 지리적 근접성에 1) 노인 부모와 자녀들의 생애이력의 조건과, 2) 노인 부모가 거주하는 지역의 경제. 환경적 특성이 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 분석에 활용된 자료는 미국에서 1993년 실시된 Asset and Health Dynamics among the Oldest Old(AHEAD), 일본에서 1989년 실시된 "제2차 가족 생애과정과 가구구조 변화에 대한 인구학적 조사"(DSFH), 그리고 미국 주와 일본의 도 단위의 경제.환경 지표들이다. 가족단위로 층화된 자료에서 발생하는 표본의 비독립성 문제를 가족망(family network)분석기법을 통해 통제하였고 비응답으로 손상된 자료를 개선하기 위하여 무작위 우도적합도 방법과 (random likelihood based inference method) 이차회귀식(two stage equation)방법을 활용하였다.

본 연구는 세대간 애정적 결속의 양상과 결정요인을 부계와 모계로 구분하여 분석하고자 하였다. 세대간의 경제적, 도구적 정서적 지원을 통한 기능적 결속이나 잦은 만남 내지 연락을 통한 교류적 결속 거주지의 근접성을 바탕으로 한 구조적 결속의 양상과 변화에 대한 연구들과 달리 세대간 친밀감을 나타내는 애정적 결속에 대한 연구는 부족한 편이었다. 본 연구에서는 손자녀가 조부모에 대해 느끼는 정서적 친밀감을 종속변수로 하여 애정적 결속이 어떻게 나타나는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 앞서 언급한 기능적, 교류적, 구조적 결속같은 요인들이 어떻게 애정적 결속에 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 2011년 7월에 조사된 세대별 문화경험과 문화인식에 관한 설문조사에서 자녀가 있는 기혼이면서 양가 부모중 적어도 한분씩은 생존해 있는 30~59세 응답자 330명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 방법론으로는 '양가 조부모에게 느끼는 친밀감이 같다'라는 응답을 준거집단으로 삼은 다항로짓회귀분석을 사용하여 부계와 모계간에 변수별 영향력이 어떻게 다르게 나타나는지 보았다. 그 결과 부계에서는 경제적 지원 관계가 애정적 결속을 높이는 주요한 요인으로 드러난 반면, 모계에서는 경제적 지원뿐 아니라 도구적, 정서적 지원도 주요한 요인으로 작용하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study examined bidirectional associations between intergenerational residential proximity and older parents' mental and physical health. The data were drawn from first three waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006, 2008, 2010), a nationally representative sample of adults 45 years or older and their spouses. The analytic sample consisted of 2,391 parents aged 60 years or older with at least one child who were continuously married between 2006 and 2010. Intergenerational residential proximity was measured with travel time between parental residence and that of the oldest of the continuously married children. For statistical analysis, autoregressive cross-lagged models were estimated using AMOS. Findings suggest that intergenerational residential proximity may have bidirectional associations with functional health, and an unidirectional association with life satisfaction. Specifically, a closer distance to a married son or daughter reported in 2006 was associated with poorer functional health of the parent in 2008. An older parent's greater number of functional limitations in 2006 was also related to a closer residential proximity to the married child in 2008. A greater residential proximity to a son, but not a daughter, reported in 2006 was associated with a higher level of parental life satisfaction in 2008. Overall, results suggest that having nearby a married adult child, particularly a married son, may help maintain parental health.

Objective: This study examined the role of siblings with respect to living arrangements between married children and their parents. Previous studies have rarely considered the possibility that family context such as siblings may be associated with intergenerational residential proximity. Method: Using data from first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2006), I investigated if, among married children, their sibling characteristics may be associated with the probability of their coresiding with the parent(s), living nearby (within a 30-minute distance from parent(s) by public transportation), or living further away. Specifically, the total numbers of sisters and brothers, the numbers of siblings coresiding with the parent(s) and living nearby, their relative position in the sibling network (first-born son, later-born son, first-born daughter, later-born daughter), and sibship existence and gender configurations (only child, son with brother(s) only, son with sister(s) only, son with both brother(s) and sister(s), daughter with brother(s) only, daughter with sister(s) only, daughter with both brother(s) and sister(s)) were evaluated in the study. For data analysis, multinomial logit models with robust standard errors were estimated using the Stata mlogit procedure. Results: Results suggest that the probability of a married child living together with the parent(s), relative to living close by, was significantly higher the more sisters he or she has. Being a son, especially first-born son, was associated with a higher probability of intergenerational coresidence compared to near residence, respectively. Also, the numbers of siblings coresiding with the parent(s) and living in close proximity were linked to a higher risk of intergenerational coresidence and near residence. Supplementary analyses revealed that the last finding was held over and above the total number of siblings, their relative position in the sibling network, as well as sibling existence and gender configurations. Conclusion: Overall, the study findings indicate that sibling characteristics have significant impacts on intergenerational living arrangement. The influence of traditional patrilineal norm of intergenerational coresidence and a trend towards modified extended family have emerged when siblings characteristics are taken into consideration as determinants of intergenerational living arrangement.
