Abstract:
In Mexico, there is a range of formal and informal transfers to help older adults. This paper analyses national trends and the results of a study focused on the federal entity of Guanajuato. The distribution of the support provided confirms that the transfers made by the social security system have an urban bias and that formal transfers from the federal government are oriented to the least urban areas, and especially rural areas. Despite the existence of formal transfers (which are irregular and insufficient), the economic and health needs of older adults remain unmet and, as a result, their relatives make informal transfers. In Mexico, and more specifically in Guanajuato, those who live with older adults provide a very significant amount of support, whereas those who have migrated do not. On the basis of this material, we analyse of the role played by descendants, according to their cohort and migration status. In any case, it is clear that there the dynamics of intergenerational transfers are different in each national entity.
