Description
Sujeong Park and Jinho Kim study how changes in children's financial support move older Korean parents' mood in a 2024 paper. Money flowing up the generations is a pillar of Korean family life. Whether losing support hurts more than gaining it helps was unknown.
Seven survey waves fed a novel model that estimates rises and falls separately. Overall, more support meant fewer depressive symptoms, but the link lived only in mothers. For women, a drop in transfers clearly deepened symptoms, while a rise brought no significant relief. Fathers showed neither pattern. The asymmetry reveals mothers' tighter emotional bond with adult children.
