Objectives: Intergenerational contact is important for the quality of life of older adults. However, few studies have examined older adults’ patterns of contact with of their children (ie. Within-family differences) and whether these patterns are gendered, which has been a distinct characteristic in countries with patrilineal traditions. Methods: This study utilizes self-reports by older adults aged 65+ on the frequency of meeting and communication with of their children from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). To identify “within-family” patterns of intergeneration contact, we conduct latent profile analysis on the 2006 baseline wave using three family-level indicators of contact across children: (a) family means, (b) family standard deviations, and (c) gender differences between sons and daughters, and four distinct patterns of contact were classified. Multinomial logit regressions estimated to examine the demographic differences between the derived family patterns. Results: Nearly half of parents studied exhibited gender-balanced patterns of meeting across children, categorized as “equally high contact” (18%) and “equally low contact” (28%). We also found two gendered patterns of contact, “ more frequent contact with daughters” (14%) and “more frequent contact with sons” (39%). Communication showed more patterns of “equally high contact” (76%), but also exhibited similar gender differences. The derived patterns of contact differed by parents’ characteristics (age, gender, education, and employment status). Discussion: The results suggest that Korean families exhibit substantial within-family differences in contact between aging parents and their adult children, with generally more frequent contact with male children. This points to the enduring nature of patrilineal traditions in modern Korean society, as well as the physical isolation of some older adults from their children.

Objective: This study examines between-sibling inequality in inheritances and investigates whether receiving a larger share of the inheritance is associated with intergenerational exchanges (financial, instrumental, or emotional) or patrilineal factors (gender and birth order). Background: Literature on inheritance in Western countries has emphasized the role of intergenerational exchanges. On the other hand, son preference has traditionally been an obstacle to gender equality in Asian countries with patrilineal traditions. This study seeks to integrate the two perspectives and investigate the potential interplay between exchanges and patrilineality. Method: Seven waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing spanning twelve years are used to estimate the associations between unequal inheritances, intergenerational exchanges and patrilineal factors, through regressions with family fixed effects. The study introduces three improvements over prior studies: a) broad measurement of intergenerational exchanges covering financial, instrumental, and emotional support, b) accounting for long-term intergenerational exchanges. and c) testing for interactions between exchanges and patrilineality. Results: Eldest sons receive the lion’s share in family inheritances, regardless of whether they provide caregiving to their parents. On the other hand, eldest daughters’ inheritances are significantly associated with their caregiving activities. Conclusion: First-born sons are unconditionally entitled to larger inheritances while first-born daughters may have to earn their share through caregiving, highlighting the complex interplay between intergenerational exchanges and patrilineal in modern Korea. Future studies should continue to chart changing social norms in relation to the caregiving needs of older adults in rapidly aging societies.
