Dr. Khawaja’s study is interested in analyzing intra-family support among Palestinians living in Lebanon, using detailed household survey data from the refugee camps and Palestinian communities in Lebanon and a latent class analysis technique. His research findings uncover five latent classes of familial exchange. Two different theoretical models -- the solidarity and reciprocal exchange -- were used to examine the link between patterns of assistance and labor market conditions. Contrary to the solidarity account, findings indicate no evidence of high familial assistance among the unemployed, or those excluded from the labor market, and this is true regardless of type of exchange. However, the camp population is more likely to engage in exchange relations than their non-camp counterparts. The married, single, educated, employed and those with stronger ties to relatives are more likely to be money exchangers. The findings are similar for care receivers, but age and gender figure prominently. Some policy implications of the findings were also discussed.
