Adult Child Migration and the Health of Elderly Parents Left Behind in Mexico
研究墨西哥成年子女移民对留守老年父母身心健康的影响，发现子女移民与父母较差的身体和心理健康状况相关，挑战了移民必然惠及留守家庭的观点。
This paper considers the relationship between adult child international migration and the health outcomes of elderly parents left behind in Mexico. Overall, the evidence suggests that having a migrant child is associated with a higher probability that the elderly parent in Mexico will be in poor physical and mental health. These results call into question the popular view that family members left behind in source countries undoubtedly benefit from the international migration of their relatives.
