The purpose of this paper is to describe intergenerational relations of the elderly living in an inner area of the metropolis and explain them by the choice-constraint model. According to the moder, intergenerational relations are hypothesized as networks which individuals construct selectively under certain opportunities and constraints they face. We analyzed an survey data of the elderly living in an inner area of Nagoya City, and examined their relationships with their children. Respondents who had affluent housing resources were more likely to cohabit with their married children and contact with children living outside their households frequently. Those who had scarce housing resources were likely to be isolated from their children. And those who were engaged in family business and those aged 70 and over were more likely to cohabit with their married children. These findings were explained by the choice-constraint mode. Which was found to have certain level of validity in describing the diversity of intergenerational relations among the elderly.
