dc.description.abstract | Despite the prevalence of co-residence of adult children and their parents across Europe, there is
only limited empirical evidence on the impact of such living arrangements on well-being. This paper
investigates the impact of adult children living in the household on the well-being of Spanish parents
aged 50-75. Using three waves of panel data from the Spanish Survey of Household Finances we assess
whether the impact on parental well-being differs depending on the age of the child, and whether
the effect depends on the gender of the parent. We find that there is a negative impact on parents’
well-being of older adult children (aged 30 or over) living in the household, while cohabitation with
younger children (aged 18-29) is not found to affect parental well-being. When analysing the impact
on mothers and fathers separately we find that the negative effect of older children living in the
household is driven by a significant reduction in the well-being of mothers, with no evidence of a
corresponding effect on fathers. The negative effect on mothers’ well-being seems to be related to
co-residence with older sons rather than older daughters. | ca_CA |
