The Double Burden for Mothers and Grandmothers: Evidence from Time Use Profiles inCebu,Philippines

Abstract

Using data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2012), we utilize latent class analysis (LCA) to develop time use class membership to characterize the degree to which women inCebuare subject to the double burden of work and family responsibilities in mid and later life. Results suggest that close to a third of the sample are engaged in high intensity work for pay (either outside or home-based) while combining it with substantial amount of household chores and with low level of personal time in a span of eighteen years. Many women with coresident grandchildren maintain their work for pay in moderate intensity while others perform an increasing amount of caregiving work. Future analysis is needed to explore the complex process of how work and family demands affect health trajectories when women transition to old age

End-of-Life Co-residence of Older Parents and Their Sons in RuralChina

Abstract

This study examined how intergenerational exchanges with sons and daughters predicted older parents’ likelihood of co-residing with a son prior to death in a rural area ofChina’sAnhuiProvince. Our investigation drew on theories of contingent co-residence, modernization, and social exchange, conceptualizing co-residence as having practical and symbolic importance in rural Chinese culture. The sample included 470 older parents, reported as deceased during 2001–2009, and their posthumous informants. We used logistic regression to assess intergenerational support and cohesion as predictors of co-residence with a son just prior to death. Older parents who provided instrumental support to, and received instrumental support from, sons and had better emotional relationships with sons were more likely than their counterparts to co-reside with a son at the end of life. Living with sons demonstrates filial piety for older parents at the end of life, but its realization is sensitive to intergenerational transactions.
