Allocating Public and Private Resources across Generations: Riding the Age Waves - Volume 2

by Anne H. Gauthier (Editor), C.Y. Cyrus Chu (Editor), Shripad Tuljapurkar (Editor)

This book explores how demographic changes affect inter-generational transfers of time, money, goods, and services, all things that play a role in the well-being of individuals and families. It details the nature and measurement of transfers, their motives and mechanisms, and their macro-level dimensions, especially in the context of demographic transitions. Coverage includes original empirical analyses of datasets from some twenty countries and extends the traditional analysis of inter-generational transfers by examining different types of transfers.
