About 1/3 of the two-generational households in China are one child families. It’s a real disaster for them when the only child dies. It’s not only a problem faced by those families, but also an issue of public policy. Unfortunately, we can not see the full paper “Quantitative Estimate of Only Child Death Family and Discussion of Their Social Support Level”.
Dear Zhengwei, Thank you for your note. Unfortunately we have not had a response from the authors with their revised paper. I am putting up their submitted abstract so that you can see the kind of approach that the authors are using to examine this issue.
Fai & Haixu, after making my last comment I see that Albert Esteve Palos and Chia Liu discuss the issue of prefential gender-age-relationship patterns of co-residential parents and adult children in the background section of their paper in Strand 3 (on page 5). You might be interested in taking a look.
Thanks Victoria,
I’ve read Albert and Chia’s paper which is very interesting. I like their theoretical work on people’s coresidential patterns and it is very useful for me in my future study.
