Focusing on the process of collective bargaining, the purpose of this study is to analyze parent-child living arrangement with respect to the tendency toward co-residence, neighboring and the proximity of residential areas based on the power structure within intra-and inter-household members. Although sons and daughters both show filial piety toward their natal parents, living arrangements between the couple, their parents and parents-in-laws, present evident power interactions. Furthermore, shares of responsibilities of parental living supports between the siblings, and the struggle for residential proximities among parents-in-law and children-in-law are the results of family members' bargaining as well. It is obvious that the living arrangement between the couple and their parents of natal and in-law families, respectively, are not entirely altruistic oriented. It reflects rather an image of power interaction over the family bargaining table with the involvement of the couple, the couple's parents and siblings all together. Findings of this study also provide insightful implications on related education, housing and welfare policies of an aging society. |
