South Korea's rapid ageing and the fast increase of nuclear families have led to the social isolation of the elderly and generational conflicts. In order to solve these social problems, this study explores the ways in which different generations can communicate and interact more actively. We surveyed 110 social workers who run generation-integrated programs at community centers in Gyeonggi province, and also examined the spatial design of the four age-integrated community centers and analysed its effect on the intergenerational exchange. We propose several suggestions for intergenerational exchange programs and effective space planning to facilitate intergenerational interactions in multi-generational community centers. To develop intergenerational interactions and keep their constant relationship, the users of community centers should be the core of generation-integrated programs which can facilitate the intergenerational exchange and interactions.

Purpose: This study aims to derive planning directions of community facilities integrating generations based on local communities to promote sustainable intergenerational exchange by analyzing the spatial configuration and programs of domestic and foreign generation-integrated community facilities based on local communities. Research design, data and methodology: Through theoretical consideration, the concept of intergenerational integration, types of intergenerational exchange, and spatial arrangement types were identified. Then, case study analysis of domestic and foreign community facilities with well-planned intergenerational exchange spaces and programs were conducted to identify intergenerational integration, and to derive community facility planning direction. Results: The results of this research are as follows. First, in terms of humanware, in order to revitalize continuous exchange between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations, a systematic support system is needed to build mutual trust through voluntary participation by each generation. Second, it is important to provide a variety of shared spaces while maintaining the uniqueness of each facility from a hardware perspective, and must be planned in such a way that selective interaction takes place with privacy and interaction in mind. Third, in terms of software, programs that meet the characteristics of each user must be provided. Conclusions: It is expected that the results of this research can be used as basic data for planning community facilities that integrate generations based on local communities, contributing to the search for sustainable ways to revitalize intergenerational exchange in the future.

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.

이 연구는 우리 사회에서 중년층의 노부모 부양관이 세대간 지원관계와 자신의 노후 부양관에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 있다 이를 통해 세대관계 연구에서 흔히 사용되는 교환이론적 접근을 우리 사회에 적용하는 것이 타당한가를 검증한다. 이 연구는 전국의 중년층을 대상으로 수집한 김두섭 외(2000) 의 자료를 활용하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노부모에게 지원을 제공하고 있거나 상호적 관계에 있는 중년층에 서 전통적 노부모 부양관이 강하게 나타난다. 이는 교환이론의 설명에 바탕을 둔 기존 연구들의 설명과는 일치하지 않는 결과이며, 우리 사회의 세대관계 분석에서 효규범을 고려하여야 함을 의미한다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 노부모 부양이 단일세대에 한정되어지는 교환적 관계의 설명이 아니라, 효규범의 영향력에 의해서 자녀의 지원이 세대를 넘어 이어지는 연결적 보상체계라는 새로운 설명모형을 제시하였다. 둘째, 중년층 자신의 노후 부양관에 환한 분석에서는 세대관계 유형이나 자신의 노부모 부양관과 무관하게 절대 다수의 중년층이 자신의 노후책임이 자신에게 있다고 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 우리사회 중년층이 자신은 노부모 부양의 경험이 있고, 전통적인 노부모 부양관을 가지고 있다고 하더라도 자신의 노후에는 자녀의 부양을 기대하지 못하는 중간자적 위치에 있음을 시사한다. 이 연구는 우리 사회의 세대관계를 설명하기 위하여 교환이론의 설명과는 다른 대안적 설명틀을 제시하면서, 중년층의 현실을 실증적으로 보여주었다는 데 의의가 있다

Guided by the exchange model, altruistic model, intergenerational solidarity theory, and cultural contexts, this study explored the determinants of financial intergenerational transfers between older parents and adult children in South Korea. We examined 18,820 parent-child dyads by using random-effects models on the first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) data. Findings showed that downward financial intergenerational transfers were consistent with the self-interest exchange model but upward transfers did not support microeconomic theories. Family solidarity theory was generally supported by downward transfers but geographical proximity was not positively associated with upward transfers. Lastly, cultural contextual variables such as marital status, birth order, and sex of a child were found to be significant. Parents tended to both provide and receive more financial support from unmarried children than from married children. Within the same marital status, the hierarchy existed in order of the first-born son, the second or later sons, and daughters when it came to downward financial transfers. Regarding upward financial transfers, the preference in order was more complicated. The findings of this study help in understanding the intergenerational financial transfers in the Korean context.

This study aims to examine the patterns of middle-aged parents' intergenerational support exchange with their adult children and its effects on the happiness of the parents. The sample consisted of 765 middle-aged parents selected from the National Survey of Korean Families by the Ministry of Equality and Family in 2010. The results were as follows. First, intergenerational support exchange between parents and their adult children was categorized into four groups depending on the provider of support: parents who exchanged no support with their children, parents who only received support from their children, parents who only provided support to their children, and parents who exchanged support with their children. Second, parents who exchanged no support with their children were high in instrumental support and those who both provided and received support were high in emotional support. Third, consciousness of their children significantly affected the satisfaction level of their relationship with their children. The more the parents emphasize on the growth of their children, the more they were satisfied. Parents in the support exchange group were more satisfied when they received economic support from their children. With regard to instrumental and emotional support, parents were more satisfied when they provided support to or mutually exchanged support with their children. Forth, subjective health conditions, consciousness of their children, and household's income more significantly affected the happiness of middle-aged parents than the patterns of intergenerational support exchange. With regard to economic support, parents who only received support from their children were less happy than the other groups. With regard to instrumental support, parents who exchanged no support with their children were happier than the other groups. With regard to emotional support, parents who provided support to their children were happier than the other groups.

노인은 자녀로부터 일방적으로 지원을 받는 것이 아니라 자녀에게 지원을 하기도 하는 호혜적인 교환을 한다. 이러한 세대간 지원교환의 호혜성은 건강, 경제력 같은 노인의 역량뿐만 아니라 노인이 자녀들과 맺고 있는 관계적 속성에 의해서 다양하게 구조화된다. 호혜성의 다양성이 어떤 요인들에 의해서 결정되는지를 설명하기 위해서 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 수집된 서울의 65세 이상 노인 730명을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 노부모-자녀의 관계적 속성이 지원교환의 호혜성에 독립적인 영향을 미치고, 자녀와 동거여부, 자녀수, 접촉빈도의 순으로 중요하다. 자녀와 동거하지 않는 노부모는 신체적 지원에서는 자녀로부터 지원을 받는 경향을 보이지만, 경제적 지원에서는 오히려 자녀를 지원하는 양상을 보인다. 자녀수와 접촉빈도는 노인이 자녀로부터 지원을 받도록 하는 쪽으로 영향을 미친다. 노인이 선호하는 아들유무는 커다란 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 노인의 역량 중에서 건강상태는 신체적 지원은 물론이고 정서적 및 재정적 지원교환에도 모두 결정적으로 중요하지만, 경제력은 재정적 지원교환에만 관련되어 있다. 세대지원의 호혜성에 가장 결정적인 요인은 노부모의 건강 상태이며, 노부모는 부모로서의 역할과 의무로 받아들여 자녀에 대한 지원을 계속하게 된다.

This study examined intergenerational contact and financial support exchange between parents and each of their non-coresident married children. Prior qualitative work has suggested that increased contact between parents and their married daughters may indicate a decline in patrilineal norms in contemporary Korean families. Using a nationally representative sample, this study investigated if married daughters engage in similar levels of intergenerational contact and financial support exchange with their parents in contrast to their married brothers (first-born sons in particular). The data were drawn from the first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006). For analyses, individuals who had at least one non-coresident married child were selected, resulting in the analytic sample of 3,950 parents with 10,947 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. Residential proximity and sociodemographic characteristics of both parents and children were controlled in analyses. Findings suggest that, overall, parents report more frequent face-to-face contact with and financial support from their first-born sons in comparison to other sons and daughters. Daughters, on the other hand, were found to engage in more frequent contact via phone call, mail, or email with their parents. In conclusion, we did not find a strong evidence to support the contention that patrilineal norms have softened in contemporary Korean families to the extent that has been suggested in qualitative studies.
