Abstract

Despite the growing research on the living arrangements of elderly we know very little about intergenerational relations in Turkey. This research is a step towards this goal. The purpose is to assess whether urbanization and economic development at the aggregate level and modernity and secularism at the individual level result in a decline in coresiding and living nearby older family members in Turkey. Results obtained using multinomial logistic estimates are supportive of the hypotheses. There is a significant variation in coresidence and in the reasons for coresiding with older family members by regional development, urbanization, individual modernity and religiosity.
