Adult Children's Education and Parent Mortality: Exploring Mechanisms Presented: Austin TX, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2019 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Mortality; Parental Influences; Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Transfers, Financial Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A series of recent studies find a robust association between adult children's education and parent health. Three mechanisms are thought to underlie the observed associations: the provision of direct care, the transfer of financial resources, and the influence on health behaviors, in particular smoking, of parents. This research draws on data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Older Men and Mature Women and causal mediation models to test the three mechanisms. |
