在人口老龄化时代，了解社会政策在从老年人向年轻人代际转移方面的作用尤其重要。本文以欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查（SHARE，N = 60,250对，来自13个欧洲国家）的前两波调查为基础，重点研究了社会支出和社会服务对老年父母对其成年子女的经济支持和实际帮助的影响。多层次模型表明，社会政策在代际转移模式中起着重要作用：向公民提供的公共援助越多，父母就越有可能在经济和实际上支持他们的成年子女，但这种支持在金钱和时间方面的强度较小。因此，分析支持专业化假设，假定家庭和国家之间的分工向下代际转移。
Understanding the role of social policies in intergenerational transfers from old to young people is especially important in times of population aging. This paper focuses on the influences of social expenditures and social services on financial support and on practical help from older parents to their adult children based on the first two waves from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, N = 60,250 dyads from 13 European countries). Multilevel models showed that social policy plays an important role for intergenerational transfer patterns: The more public assistance was provided to citizens, the more likely parents supported their adult children financially and practically, but this support was less intense in terms of money and time given. Thus, the analyses support the specialization hypothesis that posits a division of labor between family and state for downward intergenerational transfers.
