p < 0.10,

*

p < 0.05,

**

p < 0.01.

Analyses additionally control for respondent age, age2 and region (3 regions), and are conditional on the respondent having at least one living adult child (LAC).

Coded as 0 = no likelihood, 1 = some likelihood, 2 = medium likelihood, and 3 = high likelihood.

Only parents who were given or provided substantial amount of financial/non-financial transfers.
