| Abstract: | Functional solidarity is one of the six components of intergenerational solidarity in the family. It includes both the provision and receipt of assistance between adult children and parents, as well as mutual financial and emotional support. Parents continue to help their children even after they have grown up and have their own families, and adult children support parents. |
| Description: | Funding Information: The results obtained in relation to the age at first seem surprising and contradict the expected – the greatest exchange of help in the household and also outside it takes place in the youngest respondents (18–29 years) and their parents. This may be explained by the fact that young, financially dependent adult children live with their parents and share a common household. However, other age groups are also involved in supporting their parents, especially outside the household. The financial support provided to parents increases with the age of the respondents; up to 82% of those aged 50–62 have provided it. The opposite trend is observed in receiving financial support from parents, which decreases from 72% in the youngest age group to 29% in the oldest. A similar trend in relation to help received from parents both at home and outside the household is observed. |
