Intergenerational Mobility and the Relationship between Adults and Their Aging Parents in Sweden.

Sundstrom, Gerdt

Gerontologist, v26 n4 p367-71 Aug 1986

Geographic distance and contacts between adults and their aging parents in Sweden vary by social class as well as by social mobility of the offspring. Middle class adults live further from their parents and have less contact with them. Degree of contact is quite similar between social classes for those who live near their parents. (Author/ABB)
