  • Emotional support and intergenerational solidarity
    Šadl, Zdenka ; Hlebec, Valentina
    Throughout life receiving and offering emotional support is an important dimension in the relations between parents and children. Receiving emotional support from adult children is especially ... important for the aging parents, as it is - according to domestic and foreign research on family support systems -related to greater affective wellbeing, the feeling of satisfaction with life and the health of the parents. In this paper we are interested in the emotional support provided through intergenerational ties in Slovenia. We have observed the share of family intergenerational ties (within all ties that offer emotional support) and the demographic variables that influence the extent to which the family members rely on intergenerational family ties for their emotional support. Our data shows that the share of family intergenerational ties is significantly influenced by age, gender, marital status and the composition of the household. The feeling of the importance of ties is not linked to the share of intergenerational ties in an emotional network, and individuals who are likely to irritate the respondents are less likely to be a part of an emotional network.
