How to monitor intergenerational solidarity in social support networks?

The Intergenerational Solidarity in Slovenia research focused on the sources of intergenerational solidarity in social support networks. In the paper we presented the methodological problems related to use of secondary data. The article presents the definition of intergenerational solidarity in social network, and the solutions to the methodological problems at implementing the concept of intergenerational solidarity. We show that the approaches used for the operational definition lead to an appropriate estimate of intergenerational solidarity in social support networks.
