Intergenerational solidarity
1Department of Psychology, Delhi University.
Abstract:
Family is that thread which links multiple generations together through a system of shared beliefs, norms, values and cultural traditions. Intergenerational ties fulfil many functions within a family. Besides transmission of appropriate information regarding behaviour, life styles, and values, these ties help reduce marginalization between different generations, and are a source of support and identity for each individual. The knowledge of ageing and the development of positive attitudes towards old age contribute to the improvement of intergenerational relations, combat stereotypes that promote ageism and develop a more realistic outlook towards one's own ageing process.
