- 中文摘要: A model including life-cycle events, resource change, migration of the elderly and background factors is used to investigate change of living arrangements among the elderly in Taiwan. A simplest form of longitudinal data coming from 1989 and 1993 Health and Living Status Surveys is used for analysis. A high degree of inertia in living arrangements is observed during the four-years period. Among those who did change their living arrangements, living with the family or with a spouse is the most popular destination. In addition, three mechanisms for transition in living arrangements are identified. They are: (1) The elderly move to reunite with their children for the sake of assisting them; (2) The elderly may move away from their family for their own sake; (3) Marriage dissolution will lead to a transition from living with a spouse to living alone. On the other hand, when income decreases, the elderly choose to stay with their families.
