BACKGROUND Studies in previous decades have shown that patterns of intergenerational coresidence in China have been diminishing However, few studies have documented the level of intergenerational coresidence for a wide range of ages. Furthermore, most studies on the topic are based on data collected more than 10 years ago. OBJECTIVE In this study, we document the intergenerational coresidence patterns of a wide range of ages, from 25 to 60, in urban China We employ updated national data collected in 2013 that covers 2,585 counties in China METHODS We conducted three sets of analysis. The first set includes all cases. For the second set, we kept cases with at least one parent living in the same city and conducted the same analysis as in the first set. The dependent variable of these two sets of analysis is whether the adult child coresides with at least one parent. The third set includes only those adult children who do not live with their parents. We explore the probability of adult children at different ages living in the same city as their parents. RESULTS There is a U-shaped relationship between the age of adult children and the predicted probability of coresidence with parents. The predicted probability of intergenerational coresidence is higher among younger and older adult children, although it remains low at all ages. More importantly, among those living separately, we found a positive linear relationship between the age of the adult child and the predicted probability of living in the same city. CONTRIBUTION The findings suggest that coresidence of parents and adult children is no longer a dominant intergenerational living arrangement pattern in urban China Living separately but close has become a dominant pattern.
