 note = {This paper examines the role of gender in the long-term care for older parents in India. Who provides long-term care to elderly parents is still not conclusive. Provision of long-term care in developed countries may not be applicable for India because of the differences of socio-economic status. As a result, gender differences in long-term care for elderly parents in India need to be studied in light of the observed such differences. Using the data from the `Preference Parameters in India, 2011` conducted by the Osaka University, this paper finds that married sons` and their spouses serve as the primary caregiver to their parents while daughters are mostly provide care to their spouses` parents. After controlling the basic socio-economic factors like level of education of spouse, own mother, and spouse`s mother, age, and number of siblings, the results remain the same. Other family members also play a significant role in elderly parent care and parents rely least on the professional care. This paper contributes to the scarce empirical evidence on the provision of long-term care for older parents by married sons` and married daughters. The results of the study have implication for the son preference at birth in India., revised version upload : 2015.5.15},
