In this article, we examine birth cohort differences in parents' provision of monetary help to adult children with particular focus on the extent to which cohort differences in family structure and the transition to adulthood influence these changes. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study from 1994 to 2010, we compare financial help to children of three respondent cohorts as the parents in these birth cohorts from ages 53-58 to 57-62. We find that transfers to children have increased among more recent cohorts. Two trends-declining family size and children's delay in marriage-account for part of the increase across cohorts. However, other trends, such as the increase in the number of stepchildren and increasing child's income level, tend to decrease the observed cohort trend.
在本文中，我们考察了父母对成年子女提供经济帮助方面的出生队列差异，特别关注家庭结构和成年过渡期的队列差异对这些变化的影响程度。我们利用 1994 年至 2010 年“健康与退休研究”的数据，将这三个受访者队列的父母在 53-58 岁至 57-62 岁时对子女的经济帮助进行了比较。我们发现，最近几代人的子女转移有所增加。两个趋势——家庭规模缩小和子女结婚推迟——在各队列中都有所体现。然而，其他趋势，如继子女数量的增加和子女收入水平的提高，往往会降低观察到的队列趋势。
