In the Norwegian welfare state, the traditional role of adult children as serviceproviders to their aging parents exists side by side with a new role as mediator withthe service bureaucracy. A random sample of 500 Norwegian elderly, living athome, was interviewed about the help they receive from public and private sources.This study shows that despite the high level of public services, adult children playan active part in caring for parents. State provision of help is shown to have noeffect on daughters'service provision, but a slight negative effect on sons'help. Thedistribution of home help services suggests an additional role for children insecuringparents this important service. Adult children, except for daughters livingclose by, appear to increase parents'access to public home help in the early phasesof disability.
