Project

Intergenerational Transfers and Demographic Outcomes

Ole Hexel, Diego Alburez-Gutierrez, Emilio Zagheni; in Collaboration with Fanny Annemarie Kluge (State of Berlin, Germany)

We study generational resource sharing via different transfer mechanisms around the globe. A major goal is to assess the impact of transfers on health, well-being, and survival, and to look at the influence of mortality, demographic processes, and kinship structures on transfers.  Detailed Description

Mortality risk according to generosity of the country

The risk of dying at young ages is lower in more generous countries (Fig. 2 from Vogt, Kluge, and Lee 2020. Age-standardized risk of death age 0 to 20 and share of lifetime income transferred to others.) © https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1920978117
