Abstract

The recent rise of nonstandard employment worldwide has significant implications for intergenerational transfers but has been neglected in existing research on the relationships between adult children's employment experiences and parental support. Utilizing data from the urban sample of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), we examine how nonstandard employment is related to adult children's money (financial) and time (instrumental and emotional) support for parents. Our analyses among four groups of adult children reveal complex patterns in the nonstandard employment–parental support relationship by children's gender, coresidence status, and educational attainment. Results suggest nonstandard employment primarily undermines the financial ability to support parents among non-coresident daughters, but nonstandard jobs have little to do with daughters’ time caring for parents regardless of their coresident status. Meanwhile, nonstandard employment appears to be weakly related to help for parents in the short term among all adult sons. Disadvantages associated with nonstandard employment in upstream parental support, such as a “less money, less time” situation, are concentrated among less-educated adult children (mainly daughters) who live apart from their parents.

中国城市老年父母的非标准就业和支助

近年来，非标准就业在全球范围内的兴起对代际转移产生了重大影响，但在有关成年子女就业经历与父母支持之间关系的现有研究中却被忽视了。利用中国家庭面板研究（CFPS）城市样本的数据，我们研究了非标准就业与成年子女对父母的金钱（经济）和时间（工具性和情感性）支持之间的关系。我们对四组成年子女进行的分析揭示了非标准就业与父母支持关系的复杂模式，这些模式与子女的性别、同住状况和教育程度有关。结果表明，非标准就业主要削弱了非同居女儿赡养父母的经济能力，但无论女儿的同居状况如何，非标准工作与女儿照顾父母的时间关系不大。同时，在所有成年儿子中，非标准就业似乎与短期内帮助父母的关系不大。非标准就业在上游赡养父母方面的弊端，如 "钱少、时间少 "的情况，主要集中在与父母分居的受教育程度较低的成年子女（主要是女儿）身上。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
