DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rising proportions of elderly persons in developing countries are coinciding with slow progress in addressing poor levels of nutrition, schooling and health amongst young people. In both public and private domains, critical investments in children increasingly compete with the need to support elderly parents. Within this context, the objective of this study is to advance understanding of the role played by public policy, private resources, preferences, exogenous shocks and markets - and the interactions amongst these factors - in the allocation of resources across three generations in Guatemala. The setting is four villages in the Orient (Eastern) region and the localities to where people from these communities migrated. A unique feature of our interdisciplinary study - our research team draws anthropology, demography, economics, epidemiology, nutrition, and psychology - is that it builds upon more than 30 years of data collection and interaction with these communities. Together with survey work undertaken as part of this study, we will have data on the allocation of resources across three generations: elderly parents, their children who are now themselves middle-aged parents and their grandchildren. Ours will be the first study to link prospectively collected data on investments in children's human capital with subsequent transfers and investments between these individuals and both their aging parents and with their own offspring. Middle-aged parents face a trade-off in the allocation of time to work, to elder and child care, and to leisure and in the allocation of income to their own consumption, to meeting the consumption needs of their elderly parents, and investments in the human capital of their children. Accordingly, analysis focuses on how this allocation problem is conditioned by factors such as: altruism; resources available to elderly parents and their middle-aged children; access to markets for capital and for services; shocks - including health shocks - experienced by all three generations; attitudes towards inequality in outcomes amongst children and the extent of their replication across generations. We adopt a broad view of these allocations, considering transfers of money, goods, care and attention and co-residence. We consider how these interactions are gender-differentiated and how siblings resolve the collective action problem associated with caring for elderly parents. We also analyze the consequences of these interactions for the well-being of the elderly and the young. Well-being is broadly defined to include for the elderly: physical and mental health, access to preventive/curative health care as well satisfaction with health status, social resources, and economic resources. For the young, we consider health status, nutrition, schooling progress and cognitive development.

描述（由申请人提供）：发展中国家老年人的比例增加与解决年轻人中营养，学校和健康水平差的较差相吻合。在公共和私人领域，对儿童的关键投资越来越多地竞争支持老年父母的需求。在这种情况下，这项研究的目的是提高对公共政策，私人资源，偏好，外源性冲击和市场的作用的理解 - 以及这些因素之间的相互作用 - 在危地马拉三代人的资源分配中。该环境是东方（东部）地区的四个村庄，以及这些社区人们迁移的地方。我们的跨学科研究的一个独特特征 - 我们的研究团队绘制人类学，人口统计学，经济学，流行病学，营养和心理学 - 是基于30年以上的数据收集并与这些社区的互动。与本研究的一部分进行的调查工作一起，我们将获得有关三代资源分配的数据：老年父母，他们的孩子现在是中年父母和孙子。我们的研究将是第一个将有关儿童资本投资的投资数据与随后在这些人与老龄父母之间的转移和投资与自己的后代之间进行的转移和投资联系起来的第一项研究。 中年父母在分配工作时间，向老年和育儿，休闲以及将收入分配给自己的消费，满足其年长父母的消费需求以及对子女人力资本的投资方面都面临着权衡。因此，分析的重点是该分配问题是如何受到以下因素的影响：利他主义；老年父母及其中年孩子可用的资源；进入资本和服务市场；震动 - 包括健康冲击 - 所有三代人都经历了震动；对儿童结果的不平等态度以及他们在世代相传的复制程度。考虑到金钱，商品，关怀，关怀和共同住宅的转移，我们采用了这些分配的广泛看法。我们考虑这些相互作用是如何分化的，以及兄弟姐妹如何解决与照顾老年父母相关的集体行动问题。我们还分析了这些相互作用对老年人和年轻人的福祉的后果。幸福感被广泛定义为老年人：身体和心理健康，获得预防/治愈的医疗保健以及对健康状况，社会资源和经济资源的满意度。对于年轻人，我们考虑健康状况，营养，学校进步和认知发展。
