The old age security value of children has been considered an important element of family modernization. It has been related to issues of old age welfare, the persistence of high fertility, and son preference. Yet empirical evidence on such ideas has been lacking. This study uses data on parents' expected reliance on children for financial support in old age ("support expectations") to explore the old age economic security value of children in the Philippines and Taiwan: its relation to individual modernity, family size preferences, and in Taiwan to son preference. The study uses nationally-representative cross-societally comparable data for wives of childbearing age from the Value of Children surveys conducted in 1975 and 1976. In both countries, the study finds support expectations to be lower among more modern individuals, as indicated by several socioeconomic characteristics and attitudes. The study delineates particular characteristics and orientations which independently predict an individual's support expectations. The study finds support expectations to have a significant effect on fertility preferences, a fifth of a child, after controlling for parity, knowledge and attitude about contraception, family orientations and socioeconomic characteristics. Upon examination, the support expectations-fertility preferences relationship is found to be specific to preferences for a fourth child in Taiwan, a fourth or higher-order child in the Philippines. Expected support from sons is found related to son preference in Taiwan after controlling for other things, and in a manner consistent with the gradual modernization of both family orientations. Similar findings for the Philippines and Taiwan are consistent with a general movement toward the small, conjugal family typically associated with modern society. With a sample of two countries, differences cannot be explained with any certainty, but they can point to questions to be addressed by future research. There is need for additional research, on other time periods and across additional countries.Subjects--Topical Terms:
