Nonstandard employment and support for older parents in urban China
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.
