Abstract: I propose and estimate an alternative measure of [U.S.] old-age coresidence with an adult child: the number of life-years lived in coresidence with an adult child while age 65 or older. In addition, I measure the share of lifetime lived in this state.... After I estimate the measure, I decompose it to determine the degree to which changes in the number of life-years lived in old age are due to changes in the rate of coresidence, changes in mortality, and changes in fertility.
