本文从比较福利国家的角度讨论了对老年人的非正式和正式帮助和支持，特别是代际家庭帮助和福利国家支持之间的关系。虽然“替代”假说指出，慷慨提供福利国家服务，以支持老年人“挤出”家庭的帮助，“鼓励”假说预测刺激家庭的帮助，和“混合责任”假说预测家庭和正式的帮助和支持相结合。本文报告了老年与解剖学：服务系统和代际家庭团结（OASIS）研究项目的研究结果。这项研究对挪威、英国、德国、西班牙和以色列的6,106名25-102岁的城市居民进行了独特的年龄分层抽样。分析表明，在福利国家，老年人获得的帮助总量更大，正规服务的基础设施强大。此外，当社会结构，支持偏好和家庭机会结构的措施被控制，没有证据表明一个实质性的“挤出”的家庭帮助被发现。结果支持假说的混合责任“，并建议，在社会与发达的服务基础设施，帮助从家庭和福利国家服务的行为积累，但在家庭福利制度，不会出现类似的组合。
This paper discusses the informal and formal provision of help and support to older people from a comparative welfare state perspective, with particular reference to the relationships between inter-generational family help and welfare state support. While the 'substitution' hypothesis states that the generous provision of welfare state services In Support of older people 'crowds out' Family help, the encouragement' hypothesis predicts a stimulation of family help, and the 'mixed responsibility' hypothesis predicts a combination of family and formal help and support. The paper reports findings from the Old Age and Anatomy: The Role of Service Systems and Inter-generational Family Solidarity (OASIS) research project. This created a unique age-stratified sample of 6,106 people aged 25-102 years from the urban populations of Norway, England, Germany, Spain and Israel. The analyses show that the total quantity of help received by older people is greater In welfare states with a strong infrastructure of formal services. Moreover, when measures of the social structure, support preferences and familial opportunity structures were controlled, no evidence of a substantial 'crowding out' of family help was found. The results Support the hypothesis of mixed responsibility', and suggest that in societies with well-developed service infrastructures, help from families and welfare state services act accumulatively, but that in familistic welfare regimes, similar combinations do not occur.
