| Annotation | The association is examined between preferred and actual living arrangements for ageing parents in Korea. Multinomial logit model analysis of the 1994 Survey of Korean Elderly reveals that better-off older people are more likely than their poorer counterparts to choose to live independently. However, this study also reveals that some older people live apart from their children against their wishes, probably due to their children's preference for separate residence or as a result of their children's migration from rural to urban centres. In addition, for those older people who prefer separate residence, some may live with their children to met the needs of their children. Work on the association between preferred and actual living arrangements contributes to our understanding of how older people's characteristics operate for groups with differing preferences. (RH). |
