Reviews

An obvious strength of this volume is the rediscovery of the controversial topic of intergenerational solidarity with an updated perspective, which provides for possible future scenario research. ... Solidarity across generations makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the challenges and obligations (both public and private) faced in an ageing society. Moreover, the cross-country comparisons allow us to obtain in-depth knowledge of the issue, making the book singular on the spectrum of academic production. (Marta Coimbra, European Journal of Social Security, July 8, 2021)
