Abstract

This article explores the intergenerational transmission of health care habits and related differences in health care use at the family level. Our study is based on a sample of 4,608 individuals who responded to the 2010 French Health, Health Care and Insurance Survey and completed the specific questions on health care use and childhood living conditions. The results provide evidence of an intergenerational transmission of health care habits. More precisely, we reveal a correlation between health care habits across generations and the transmission of the likelihood of visiting a doctor, which is reflected by differences in doctor visits for the individual's children.
