Междупоколенчески икономически трансфери

Abstract

In all societies intergenerational transfers are large and have an important influence on inequality and growth. The development of each generation of youth depends on the resources that it receives from productive members of society for health, education, and sustenance. The well-being of the elderly depends on familial support and a variety of social programs. The reallocation of resources across age groups is an important feature of any economy. The ageing of the European population is expected to strongly influence both the structure of family relations and the pattern of private transfers between generations.
