BackgroundSSA is undergoing rapid economic and demographic changes, making it a particularly interesting and policy-relevant area to investigate intergenerational transfers. While rapid population growth continues to be a major social and policy issue (Cleland et al. 2006; H.-P. Kohler 2013), demographic and epidemiological trends of falling fertility and increasing life expectancy foreshadow the coming challenge of a growing elderly population (Aboderin 2009; Aboderin and Beard 2015). In addition, Malawi and much of Southern and Eastern SSA face the challenge of combining the potential benefits arising from the demographic dividend with high shares of middle-aged adults affected by functional disability and/or HIV (Narayana 2015; Payne, Mkandawire, and Kohler 2013). Countries across SSA are projected to experience very substantial gains in their support ratios, with increases of 36 percent in Nigeria and 25 percent in Kenya between 2010 and 2050 (Gerland et al. 2014; Lee and Mason 2011).
