The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative importance of different background characteristics of the 256 older adults(148 males, and 108 females), sixty years and above, in determining their co-residence with married children. The analysis of data revealed that elderly people with higher age, widowed elderly, and elderly assess their health as ‘unhealthy’ and have a higher chance to live with married children. Aged women are less likely to live with married children than elderly men, and income has no effect on living arrangements. However, the ownership of the house is likely to increase the possibility of living with married children only in the case of elderly women but not in the case of elderly men.
