This study aimed to investigate resource transfer for baby boomers' adult children and related factors pertaining to baby boomers' later-life preparation. This study was conducted in 2016 using written questionnaires completed by 405 baby boomers residing in Seoul and metropolitan cities in South Korea. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 and the following statistical methods: frequency, percentiles, the mean, standard deviation, a t-test, one-way ANOVA, Cronbach's alpha, and hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis. Baby boomers' average level of later-life preparation was found to be 3.45/5, a relatively rational score. Baby boomers tended to transfer more resource from their adult children when they had many adult children, were more satisfied with their romantic relationship. Baby boomers' level of later-life preparation was higher when there was lesser resource transfer of their adult children. The greatest influential variables pertaining to the respondents' later-life preparation were their family's income, children's marital status, satisfaction with their romantic relationship, and level of transfer from their adult children. It was concluded that baby boomers have insufficient later-life preparation in terms of finances due to their need to support their adult children; thus, nation-wide practical programs are needed to prepare baby boomers for a happy life.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of parent-to-child financial transfers and economic resources on financial transfers, caregiving, and time donated from middle-aged adult children to their elderly parents. Analyzing data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, which provides long-term observations of financial reciprocity and recent reports about elder care, the current study finds strong positive effects of prior parent-to-child financial transfers in the models of caregiving and time; which indicates the importance of reciprocity. In terms of determinants of resource transfers, the findings of logistic regression analyses suggest that the economic resources of parents and adult children are strong determinants of child-to-parent financial resource transfers. Sociodemographic characteristics of parents and respondents were observed as strong determinants of caregiving or time. In addition, caregiving responds more to the health and income levels of parents whereas donated time is responsive to the net worth of parents and parents' status. For adult children, gender is a strong determinant of both caregiving and time donation. The long-term health problem of adult children is a statistically significant predictor of caregiving, while the employment status of adult children and the number of siblings have statistically a significant association with time donated to care for the parents.

This study explored the relationships between unmarried adult children and their coresident parents with a focus on the role of intergenerational exchanges and family values affecting parent-child relations. A total of 767 unmarried adult children who lived with their parents were selected from the data of the third National Korean Family Survey in 2015. The main findings were that coresident adult children exchange diverse resources with their parents and that exchange patterns whether receiving more or giving more differed depending on the helping dimensions. 'Receiving' type was more prominent in the dimension of practical help, while, 'receiving and giving' type was more noticeable in the dimension of emotional help. Findings also suggest that intergenerational exchange and family values contribute to parent-child relationship quality. While being an active provider of practical help is positively associated with relationship quality, being a recipient of emotional help is related to a higher level of relationship quality compared to being indifferent. In addition, a stronger value of family responsibility was associated with a higher level of relationship quality. These findings indicate that the importance of the practical and emotional component in the relationships between unmarried adult children and their co-resident parents and reciprocal intergenerational exchange and strong family values may be contributory factors to better parent-child relationships.

본 연구는 손자녀 양육 조부모와 그들의 자녀 사이에서 손자녀 양육으로부터 비롯되는 갈등 요인을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 제3차 국민노후보장패널자료를 분석 데이터로 사용하여 손자녀 양육 조부모와 그들의 성인 자녀와의 갈등에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인을 손자녀 양육 조부모의 인구사회학적 요인과 경제적 요인, 돌봄 관련 요인, 건강 요인, 가족관계 요인을 중심으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 조부모가 남성일수록, 연령이 높을수록, 학력이 높을수록, 종교가 없을수록, 비취업자인 경우에 자녀와의 갈등이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조부모의 근로소득과 금융소득이 없는 경우, 사적이전소득이 있을 경우, 즉 경제적으로 어려운 경우에 자녀와의 갈등이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 손자녀의 연령이 낮을수록, 손자녀 양육 대가가 없는 경우, 손자녀 양육으로 인해 근로나 소득활동을 중단 또는 단축한 경우에 자녀와의 갈등이 높았으며, 조부모의 신체적 건강상태가 좋을수록, 정신적 건강상태가 나쁠수록 자녀와의 갈등이 높았다. 마지막으로 조부모의 가족관계 만족도와 배우자관계 만족도가 낮을수록, 자녀와의 관계 만족도가 높을수록 자녀와의 갈등이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 자식을 위해 대가 없이 희생하는 전통노인과는 다른 양상으로서 손자녀 양육 대가 부재와 갈등에 대한 이해가 필요함을 시사한다.
