Support to the elderly and caring regimes. An analysis of patterns of informal support and their determinants in six European countries
No full textIn this chapter Albertini offers an analysis of patterns of informal and formal care support to the elderly in six European countries: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain. In particular, using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the author shows that the quota of elderly people receiving informal support is far larger than the number of individuals getting formal support. It is also argued that the generosity of LTC policies does not crowd out the family; on the contrary, it crowds in informal support provision and push the family to specialise in less time and skills demanding tasks. Patterns of informal support fit well the care regimes typologies: displaying a north to south gradient in the likelihood of receiving unpaid help, and an opposite gradient in the average amount of support received. Differently, patterns of formal care utilization follow only to some extent the typologies of care regimes proposed in the literature. In particular, the analysis of home care services questions the existence of both a Continental and Mediterranean regime
Minimal families: Childlessness and intergenerational transfers
No full textPrevious research has been wanting in two
respects : it has considered the childless as homogeneous, and it has
conceptualised them as a problem group. Policy-oriented research has
therefore tended to focus on the general consequences of childlessness on
the demand for public health and social care services as well as on the
institutional arrangements that might reduce the prevalence of childlessness.
The aim of this special issue is to redress this double deficit.
Firstly, we address the complexity of the social mechanisms that explain
the consequences of childlessness for individuals by taking into account
not only older people’s parenthood status, but also their gender, marital
history and motivations for having no child. Secondly, we conceptualise
childless older people not as a social problem but as a societal resource, by
focusing not on what people without children lack and need but on what
they provide to their families, to the younger generations and to society at
large.

Il contratto generazionale tra pubblico e privato. Equilibri e squilibri tra le generazioni in Italia
No full textThe public dimension of the generational contract which is at the very basis of the Italian welfare system strongly favors older generations. An analysis of both social service budget allocations and welfare regime outcomes - in terms of individuals' net equivalent incomes - shows that in the last thirty years young families have experienced a quite dramatic deterioration of their socio-economic conditions. However, the disequilibrium of the public dimension of the generational contract is partly compensated by events in the private dimension of the same contract. Analysis of intergenerational exchanges within the family reveals that there is a net downward flow of resources (both of time and money) from parents to children. In comparison to what occurs in other European countries, Italian young people benefit from a longer period of coresidency and shared consumption with their parents and, once they leave their parental home, enjoy more intense (although less likely) resource transfers. Overall the specific settings of the private and public dimensions of the Italian generational contract seem to have quite adverse effects on young Italians' transition to adulthood and appear to be increasingly unsustainable
What Childless Older People Give: Is the generational link broken?
No full textSpecial issue on Minimal families: Childlessness and intergenerational transfers, edited by Martin KOHLI and Marco ALBERTINI, Published Online by Cambridge University Press 15 Oct 2009With the increase of childlessness in European societies, its consequences have become a matter of concern. Studies in this field, however, have concentrated on what childless people lack and need in terms of social, financial and moral support. In contrast, this article focuses on what childless people give to their families, friends, unrelated others and to society at large. Using 2004 data on social support and financial transfers given and received by people aged 50 or more years in ten European countries from the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the analyses show that the support networks of childless older people tend to be somewhat weaker than those of parents and that links with members of the younger generations in the family are stronger for parents than for those without children. The results also indicate, however, that the differences in transfer behaviour between parents and childless adults are small, and that the support networks of the childless are more diverse than those of parents, and characterised by stronger links with ascendants and lateral relatives and with non-relatives. Moreover, people without children tend to be more intensely involved in charities and comparable organisations
La trasmissione intergenerazionale delle disuguaglianze in Italia: classi sociali e il sostegno dei figli prime fasi della vita lavorativa
No full textIl welfare italiano è caratterizzato da una debole protezione delle persone giovani, particolarmente nel momento della loro transizione dal sistema educativo al mercato del lavoro. Quindi il ruolo della famiglia nel proteggere i giovani che stanno cercando la loro prima occupazione è particolarmente importante, anche alla luce della scarsissima mobilità intergenerazionale che caratterizza il mercato del lavoro. L'articolo mostra che, al netto delle risorse di reddito disponibili, le famiglie delle classi sociali più elevate proteggono meglio i loro figli mentre essi stanno cercando il primo lavoro e che, durante i primi tempi della loro carriera lavorativa, ne promuovono l'indipendenza abitativa attraverso trasferimenti finanziari
