“…The overwhelming majority of caregiving research has focused on the experiences of the primary caregiver (usually a woman), neglecting examination of other family members, particularly grandchildren (Beach, 1993, 1997; Brakman, 1998; Miller & Montgomery, 1990; Mui, 1995; Piercy & Chapman, 2001; Young & Kahana, 1989). This omission is tragic, because 31% of caregiving adult children have children under the age of 12 and 23% have children between the ages of 12 and 17 (Hirsch, 1996; National Center of Health Statistics, 1987; Stone, Cafferata, & Sangl, 1987).…”

Although previous literature has demonstrated the importance of age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status in understanding grandparent–grandchild relationships, additional factors contribute to a more complete and nuanced understanding of multigenerational relationships. Thorough understanding of the role of diversity requires examination of the discrete impacts of grandparents’ gender, sexual orientation, and physical and/or cognitive limitations on the relationship. This article focuses on these 3 important, yet overlooked, issues of diversity, with a focus on strength-based and empowerment-oriented strategies and their implications for practice, policy, and future research.

“…Given that filial piety is a reciprocal behavior built upon the relationships between parents and children, female and male older adults may experience filial piety expectation and receipt very differently. While a great number of literatures in filial piety emphasized the gender differences among adult children in practicing filial piety (Brakman, 1994;Chao & Roth, 2000;Chappell & Kusch, 2007), the gender difference in the expectation and receipt of filial piety among older adults remains unclear. One study in Beijing indicates that no gender difference was observed in older adults' expectation of filial piety (Yue & Ng, 1999).…”

Background: Filial piety is a fundamental virtue that defines children’s care-giving obligation to older parents in Chinese families. This study aims to evaluate whether gender difference exists in the expectation and receipt of filial piety among U.S Chinese older adults. Methods: Data were drawn from the PINE study, a population-based study of U.S. Chinese older adults aged 60 and above in the greater Chicago area. Guided by a community-based participatory research approach, a total of 3,159 Chinese older adults aged 60 and above were surveyed. Filial piety was examined in six domains, including care, respect, greeting, happiness, obedience, and financial support. Socio-demographic correlates with expectations and receipt of filial piety were examined. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted. Results: Female older adults were 1.02 points higher than male older adults in their perceived receipt of filial piety (PE=1.02, p<0.001) adjusted for the socio-demographics. Older women received more respect (p<0.001), greetings (p<0.001), happiness (p<0.01), and obedience (p<0.05). Women with an older age (r = 0.06, p<0.05) and a lower educational level (r = -0.11, p<0.01) received more filial piety while similar trends were not discovered among men. Being married was correlated with a higher level of filial piety receipt among men (r = 0.07. p<0.05) while the correlation was not significant among women.Discussion: This study provides insights to understand how the gender of the older parents influences their expectation and receipt of filial piety. Our findings have important implications to guide elder care practices with cultural and gender sensitivity.
