This study explored the current patterns of caregiving by adult children for elderly parents in China's interior and prospects for future caregiving when members of the one-child generation become caregivers for the baby boom generation. Two samples were drawn for the study: one from the current caregivers providing care for parents (n = 110); the other from the first cohort of the one-child generation students (n = 777). By utilizing widely-accepted Western measures of caregiving task performance, caregiver burden, and caregiving reward, this study found that current caregivers were experiencing severe financial burden due to low income and diminished benefits. Family size or having other siblings available to share parent care reduce primary caregivers' caregiving time and caregiving stress. Chinese cultural beliefs in filial responsibility or "xiao" played an important role in enhancing caregivers' task performances. Only-children expressed stronger feelings of obligation for parent care than did non-only children, but lower levels of willingness to reduce job load or abandon jobs in order to take care of parents. Findings were discussed in the context of Chinese cultural, familial, and societal changes. Theoretical perspectives (life-course perspective, modernization theory, and feminist perspectives) were applied to provide broader conceptualization of findings. Finally, a full discussion of policy implications is offered.
