Mature Women's Kin Availability and Contact Sociology and Social Research 71,4 (July 1987): 266-270 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Journal has ceased publication, check OCLC - Worldcat for libraries holdings. Keyword(s): Family Influences; Family Resources; Support Networks; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The frequency of contact that mature women have with their children, parents, siblings, and in-laws is examined based on data from the NLS of Mature Women, a longitudinal survey of approximately 5,000 females aged 30-44 in 1967 when the panel began. In 1981, the 3,677 respondents remaining (aged 44-59) were asked how often they had face-to-face or telephone contact with the different types of kin. A 7-point scale ranging from daily to never was used to measure frequency of contact. Respondents were most frequently in contact with their children, followed by parents, in-laws, and siblings. More than 95% of each subgroup who had kin were in contact with at least one kin member monthly. It is concluded that these findings may reduce the concern about a lack of family support among the next generation of elderly. [Sociological Abstracts, Inc.] |
