Background: Married and cohabiting partners frequently share the responsibility of caring for their aging parents. Adult children’s union formation and partner selection decisions have important implications for their ability to care for their aging parents. However, extant research has yet to examine how adult children’s partner selection decisions influence the levels of financial, emotional, and instrumental support adult children provide their aging parents. Objective: We explore how adult children’s decision to cross ethnoracial boundaries in union formation affects their propensity to reside with the male or female partner’s parents. Methods: Using data from the 2007–2022 American Community Survey, we estimate logistic regression to predict the odds of living with aging parents for couples with varying joint ethnorace. We then estimate logistic regression models to predict the odds of living with the female partner’s parents over the male partner’s parents for couples of varying joint ethnorace. Results: White/Black and White/Hispanic couples are more likely than endogamous White couples but less likely than endogamous minority couples to live with aging parents. White female/Black male couples are less likely than Black female/White male couples to live with the female partner’s parents. Contribution: The in-between prevalence of intergenerational coresidence among interracial couples suggests that interracial unions are bridging ethnoracial distinctions by expanding family networks across ethnoracial groups.

异族夫妇和代际同居：为年迈父母提供住房援助的异族夫妇（作者：Kate Choi、Jenjira Yahirun）


背景：已婚和同居伴侣经常分担照顾年迈父母的责任。成年子女的工会组建和伴侣选择决定对他们照顾年迈父母的能力具有重要影响。然而，现有的研究尚未检查成年子女的伴侣选择决定如何影响成年子女为其年迈的父母提供的财务、情感和工具支持水平。目的：我们探讨了成年子女在工会组建中跨越种族界限的决定如何影响他们与男性或女性伴侣的父母同住的倾向。方法：使用 2007-2022 年美国社区调查的数据，我们估计 logistic 回归以预测具有不同联合种族的夫妇与年迈父母一起生活的几率。然后，我们估计 logistic 回归模型，以预测不同联合种族的夫妇与女性伴侣的父母同住的几率超过男性伴侣的父母。结果：白人/黑人和白人/西班牙裔夫妇比一夫一妻制的白人夫妇更有可能与年迈的父母同住，但比一夫一妻制的少数族裔夫妇更不可能。白人女性/黑人男性夫妇与女性/白人男性夫妇同住的可能性低于黑人女性/白人男性夫妇。贡献： 跨种族夫妇之间代际同居的普遍性表明，跨种族结合正在通过扩大跨种族群体的家庭网络来弥合种族差异。
