HDFS Exam 3 - CH 9 QUESTIONS ANDANSWERS VERIFIED FOR ACCURACY
theory of intergenerational solidarity - answer over time, a fam will adjust its living
arrangements to reflect the changing needs/resources of different generations
aging in place is preferred! if they've lived in the home for a really long time, they prefer to stay
there -- this is ideal for comfort reasons (but there are risks and challenges involved in aging in
place) - answer what's the preferred living situation of most elders and why?
jeanne hutchins - answer name of our guest lecturer (who took our professor's place that day)
early in the life course - answer economic needs of adult kids determine their relative proximity
to their parents
later in the life course - answer the parents' economic and health needs influence how close
their kids live to them
3 phases in the parent-child life course in terms of proximity of living arrangements - answer
~kids live w/near their parents before age 25, then there's a period of separation in which kids
marry or move away for education/employment, healthy elders may also move away from their
kids to a retirement destination
-- later life = when aging parents become sick or disabled, they move nearer to their kids = fams
reconstitute themselves later in life, not necessarily in intergenerational households but thru
close contact and frequent visits!
increased - answer b/w 2005 and 2011, proportion of young adults living in their parents' home
________________
-percentage of men aged 25-34 living in their parents' home went up from 14% in 2005 to 19%
in 2011 and from 8-10% over the period for women
, move in with their kids - answer often if older Americans have lost their homes and don't have
the financial resources to buy another, what do they do???
(adult kids often have their parents do this bc they can't afford the costs of assisted living as
well)
--in 2011, more than 4 mil parents were living w their adult children (up from 2.3 mil in 2000)
older women - answer who's more likely to live alone? older women or older men?
--older Americans' living arrangements are also influenced by their gender and by race and
ethnicity
~majority of men 65 and older, 73% live w their wives; only 50% of women live w their
husbands bc they're more likely to be widowed
elderly asian americans - answer of all ethnic groups, who is the most likely to be living in an
extended family household?
(these are most common in low-income fams of this particular ethnic group -- suggests that this
living arrangement is more a response to poverty than a cultural ideal
-to some extent these living arrangements reflect cultural preferences and the strong tradition
of filial piety = kids have an obligation to care for their aging parents
geographic mobility - answer most ppl 65 and older do NOT move when they retire (2010: 96%
of ppl 65 and older did not move)
~ of those who DO move, many stay in the same state
-every yr, thousands of retirees migrate to the Sun Belt states of Florida, Arizona, Nevada, New
Mexico and North Carolina
migratory stream - answer *the movement of older ppl to the Sun Belt -- this is diffuse in origin
= those who enter the stream come from many states, cities and towns
-- their destinations are highly specific, places w a warm climate and reasonably priced
retirement housing, typically in the southern and western parts of the country
