Happy Childhood — Happy Life? Family Relations and Life Satisfaction
Do close family relations lead to a happy life? Is early and later conflict between and with parents linked to experiencing lower life satisfaction in adulthood? Following a life course approach, this study explores the relevance of past and present child–parent relations for lifelong happiness. The data are drawn from SwissGen, a representative study of adults living in Switzerland and their relationships with their living or deceased parents. T…
Relations with Parents: Questions and Results
This book offers essential information on relations between adults and their parents. How well do the generations get along with one another? What kinds of support do adults provide to their parents, and how much do parents give to their adult children? How often does tension or conflict arise? What impact do education, finances, age, gender, migration and region have on intergenerational relationships? The study examines both current relationshi…
Gender differences in intergenerational care in European welfare states
Elderly people with functional limitations are predominantly cared for by family members. Women – spouses and daughters – provide most of this care work. In principle, gender inequality in intergenerational care may have three causes: first, daughters and sons have different resources to provide care; second, daughters and sons respond differently to the same resources; third, welfare state programmes and cultural norms affect daughters and sons …
Gendered support to older parents: Do welfare states matter?
The aim of this study is to examine the association of welfare state policies and the gendered organisation of intergenerational support (instrumental help and personal care) to older parents. The study distinguishes between support to older parents provided at least weekly, i.e. time-intensive and often burdening support, and supplemental sporadic support. Three policy instruments were expected to be associated with daughters' and sons' support …
State care provision, societal opinion and children's care of older parents in 11 European countries
Dependent older people are predominantly cared for by family members, mostly partners and children, but not every parent in need is cared for by a child, and intergenerational care varies widely across Europe. Previous studies have used care regimes to explain these differences, but because of the lack of large comparative surveys, the prevalence of intergenerational care has rarely been related directly to the institutional and cultural context,…
Pflege in Europa
Wie soll die Pflege älterer Menschen organisiert werden, wenn einerseits immer mehr ältere Menschen auf Unterstützung angewiesen sind, und andererseits immer weniger Personen die Pflege übernehmen können? Für Gesellschaften und Wohlfahrtsstaaten stellt die demografische Alterung zunehmend eine Herausforderung dar. Auch Familien kommen an die Grenzen der Belastbarkeit, wenn Pflegeaufgaben und Erwerbstätigkeit gleichzeitig erfüllt werden müssen. In…

Specialization between Family and State Intergenerational Time Transfers in Western Europe
Intergenerational time transfers can be differentiated and divided into two support forms: help and care activities. Adult children support their elderly parents with more or less intensive and widely differing transfers ranging from help with household chores and paperwork to personal care. However, elderly people are also an important source of intergenerational support, as they help their children by looking after the grandchildren for example…
Intergenerational Help and Care in Europe
In Europe, on average, three times as many adult children occasionally help their parents with the housekeeping than do provide regular physical care. This is not surprising, considering the great differences between these two types of support. Care follows needs, whereas help tends to be given sporadically when one has the opportunity. In the familial welfare states in Southern Europe, where little professional support is available, provision of…
