Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, we explore within-family differences in mother-to-child support in later life, using data collected from 144 African American and 407 white mothers ages 65-78. The findings indicate substantial within-family variation in mother-to-child support in both Black and white families; specifically, most mothers appeared to differentiate among their children rather than provide support to all or to none of them. Some factors found to be most important in understanding intergenerational support using between-family designs also helped to explain within-family differences—mothers were more likely to provide support to daughters, to children who were single, and to those who lived nearby. Comparisons of models for Blacks and whites revealed more dissimilarities than similarities. Child’s gender and health problems in adulthood played roles in explaining within-family differences in both Black and white families; however, effects of gender were greater among whites, whereas effects of children’s health problems were greater among Blacks. Further, some factors that were important in explaining white mothers’ differentiation among her children, such as child’s marital status, had no effect on Black mothers’ differentiation. In sum, the findings indicate that within-family differences in support to children continue across the life course in white and Black families, although the factors explaining these patterns differ somewhat by race.
