Intergenerational Support
Intergenerational support refers to the assistance and resources exchanged between different age groups, particularly between younger and older generations. This can include emotional support, financial help, caregiving, and sharing of knowledge or skills. Such interactions can strengthen family bonds and foster a sense of community.
This support can take various forms, such as grandparents helping with childcare, parents providing guidance to their children, or young adults assisting their aging relatives with daily tasks. Intergenerational support promotes mutual respect and understanding, benefiting both the individuals involved and society as a whole.
