BackgroundWith economic growth and the diminishing influence of filial piety, the pattern of intergenerational exchange among older Chinese may shift from the traditional unidirectional pattern, where children solely support their parents, to a reciprocal pattern where older parents and adult children support each other. The challenges of old-age care, exacerbated by the one-child policy and an aging population, have become pressing issues for the government and families. Understanding the pattern of intergenerational exchange is crucial for developing old-age care policies and services that address the needs of the large aging population.ObjectiveThis study explores the pattern of intergenerational exchange within the Chinese context influenced by filial piety. It examines gender and socioeconomic status and discusses the characteristics of Chinese intergenerational exchange.MethodologyThe study uses secondary data from the 4th wave of the 2018 CHARLS, focusing on independent variables such as residence, socioeconomic status, intergenerational social frequency, and the gender of adult children. These factors are examined with four dependent variables measuring intergenerational exchange patterns: financial and grandchildren care support from older parents to children (downward transfers), and financial and caregiving support from adult children to older parents (upward transfer). The study employs binary logistic regression and linear regression analyses to obtain results.ResultsIn examining upward or downward monetary transfers, rural older residents are less likely to receive financial transfers. When older parents provide grandchildren care, the likelihood of financial exchanges in both directions increases. Conversely, when older parents receive care from their children, monetary transfers in both directions decrease. Instrumental transfers between generations have mutually reinforcing relationships. Rural residents and older individuals with lower wealth rely on caregiving from adult children more and are less likely to care for their grandchildren. Older people with only daughters are more likely to make downward transfers in both financial and caregiving functions.ConclusionIntergenerational exchanges in China represent reciprocal assistance rather than one-sided support for the older, traditionally mandated by filial piety. Rural and lower-wealth groups need more help. The government should integrate family-based care with market-based care to support vulnerable groups that still depend on family care. Old-age care policies should also consider the differences in urban and rural settings and socioeconomic status to develop tailored care plans.
