The family remains important for care of the elderly; less well understood is the significance of even aging parents for their offspring, which may be more so today than in the past and more so in the welfare states--with 'resourceful' old people--than in the less affluent societies. This study tries to verify this by an analysis of coresidence patterns between generations, with particular emphasis on the younger one. In particular, men with various handicaps may more often find refuge with their family of origin than do others, and more often today than they did in the not-so-distant past.
家庭对于老年人的照料而言仍然很重要；但人们对年迈的父母对于其子女的意义却了解较少，在当今社会，这种意义可能比过去更为重要，在福利国家（那里有“足智多谋”的老年人）比在不太富裕的社会更为重要。本研究试图通过分析代际间的共同居住模式来验证这一点，特别关注年轻一代。尤其是，有各种残疾的男性可能比其他人更经常地在原生家庭中寻求庇护，而且与不久前相比，如今这种情况更为常见。
