| Summary / Zusammenfassung | This is the first Generation project of the Research Group AGES (LAbour, Generation, Stratification) which is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the University of Zurich. The goal of the project is the analysis of intergenerational solidarity in eleven Western European countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The empirical analyses are based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Foci are the two central kinds of support between generations: time and money. Some of the questions are: How do adult children and parents deal with each other? Are their relationships more autonomy-based or solidarity-based? Is there a general “crisis of the family”, or are there far-reaching links between family generations, even if they no longer live in the same household? Are there differences between women and men (daughters, sons, mothers, fathers), regions and nationalities? The project offers excellent opportunities in terms of basic research, applied research, promoting young researchers, teaching, and politics. A substantial number of essays and talks resulted from this project, and a series of further projects are continued on the subject. | ||
