  • The Multilinks project explores how demographic changes shape intergenerational solidarity, well-being and social integration. The project examines a) multiple linkages in families (e.g. transfers up and down family lineages, interdependencies between older and younger family members); b) multiple linkages across time (measures at different points in time, at different points in the individual and family life course); c) multiple linkages between, on the one hand, national and regional contexts (e.g. policy regimes, economic circumstances, normative climate, religiosity) and, on the other hand, individual behaviour, well-being and values.

    The conceptual approach builds on three key premises. First, ageing affects all age groups: the young, the middle-aged and the old. Second, there are critical interdependencies between family generations as well as between men and women. Third, we must recognize and distinguish analytical levels: the individual, the dyad (parent-child, partners), family, region, historical generation and country.

    The database aims to map how the state, in form of public policies and legal norms, defines and regulates intergenerational obligations within the family. What is the contribution of public authorities to support and secure financial and care needs for the young and the elderly in the family? In what ways the state assumes that intergenerational responsibilities are a family matter? In order to answer these questions the database includes a dual intergenerational perspective: upwards generations; from children to parents; and downwards; from parents to children. It looks across a variety of social policies and also includes legal obligations to support. It entails over 70 indicators on social policy rights, legal obligations to support, and care service usage. It offers a structured access to the public support for families with children and for elderly people within 30 European countries for 2004 and 2009.

    --------------------------------------

    The research project MULTILINKS (How demographic changes shape intergenerational solidarity, well-being, and social integration: A Multilinks framework) existed from 2009 to 2011. It has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2011) under grant agreement n° 217523.

    After the end of the project the results were made available as a web application and as individual datasets together with the documentation files by the WZB (http://multilinks-database.wzb.eu). Since 2020, this website no longer exists. The single datasets and reports are available here unchanged.

    However, the web application, together with the documents, is still available through the "Gender & Generations Programme (GGP)" and the French Institute for Demographic Research (INED). There you will find further information, additional descriptive variables and full possibilities to explore and navigate through the database.

?:comment
  • When you use the data please note the following aspects:

    Since the Multilinks Database was formerly made available via the WZB and now the GGP and INED, a parallel version exists with this citation: "Multilinks (2011): Multilinks Database on Intergenerational Policy Indicators. Version 2.0, Multilinks Project and Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB). Data obtained through the Generations and Gender Contextual Database. Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (distributor). Retrieved from: https://px.web.ined.fr/GGP on [access date]."

    When the data in the files were retrieved from the OECD, reference to the original OECD data also should be added. Complete references can be found in the Methodological Report below. (xsd:string)
