Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the factors of parents' expectations for care in old age with focusing on economic background of the parents. In particular, I investigate the effects of household income and household savings on the respondent's expectation of oldage support from children by analyzing survey data which was conducted by the Cabinet Office in 2007. The result of the analysis shows the economic situation influences on the expectation only in women's sample. In concrete, household savings shows curve effect on the expectation. This means that the relatively wealthy parents and also relatively poor parents have high expectations compared to the other parents.
