| Annotation | Traditional patterns of co-residence (i.e. living with one or both of the husband's parents) in Turkey is examined, using data from the 1993 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey. The results indicate that co-residence among currently married children is not the norm. However, the odds of co-residence with a husband's parents - given that a couple co-resides with any parent - are very high. The authors also found substantial effects of traditionality measures on co-residence, especially with the husband's parents. Continued economic development, and the social changes that accompany it, can be expected to reduce the prevalence of parent-child co-residence in Turkey. (RH). |
