| Annotation | Immigration in later life is an extremely stressful life event. When multigenerational families resettle together, older members turn to their adult children for support, while both generations face challenges of integration. Drawing on the framework of intergenerational solidarity-conflict-ambivalence, this qualitative study explored the relationships between older immigrants from the former Soviet Union and their adult children in Israel. The findings illuminate the declining personal resources and family status of the older members, as well as their main coping strategies. Both generations try to discover a new balance among the old and new cultural expectations, reciprocity and use of available and formal geriatric services. (JL). |
