Intergenerational Transfers

Intergenerational Transfers is a demographic and economic phenomenon referring to the flow of resources, such as income, wealth, time, or care, from one generation to another, typically between parents and children or grandchildren, distinguished by its cross-generational directionality and its role in shaping economic well-being, inequality, and family support systems across the life course.
