This study by Yoshimi Chitose analyzes support from adult daughters to parents (instrumental, emotional, and financial) and conversation frequency, comparing married and divorced women using data from the 2013, 2018, and 2022 National Survey on Family Dynamics. Results show that regardless of marital status, women who received support from parents tend to provide support to parents, with high likelihood of providing the same type of support received. Divorced women have higher co-residence rates with parents (about 30% vs 6%), and when living separately, provide more instrumental support and conversation, but when co-residing, married women provide more instrumental support. Financial support tends to be higher among married women except when co-residing with mothers.
