Objective
The sustainability of the welfare state in which the state plays a key role in the promotion of solidarity, integration and wellbeing
of its citizens may be compromised due to the current economic crisis and unprecent demographic changes. The
combination of these pressures with new family forms, pose significant challenges to individuals, families and societies and
place solidarity and adjustment between generations as a priority in European states, arguably more important today than in
earlier decades, as people live longer and share more years with younger generations. The aim of this proposal is to
investigate how the social context, from macro-societal to micro-interpersonal, affects intergenerational solidarity and
important indicators of adjustment between generations in two economically and culturally distinct countries: Portugal and
UK. The project seeks to examine: national (e.g. policies), regional (e.g. economic circumstances), family (e.g. transfers up
and down family lineages) and individual-level relationships (e.g. wellbeing). Mixed-methods will be used to facilitate an
integrated approach from macrosocietal to individual variables and enable empirical-base and sound policy making. A
synthesis of the findings will focus on the levels of context that can be powerful in shaping inequalities in intergenerational
solidarity, well-being and social integration and on the implications for programmes and policies. The strong theory-driven
nature of the project, the candidate profile, the international mobility and working in a world-renowned centre of excellence
with the support from a dynamic multidisciplinary team representing a wide range of substantive, methodological and policy
expertise, are key factors for the project’s impact and candidate career development, skills acquisition and diversification.
The project and the candidate career will also benefit from the input and initiatives funded by ongoing topic-related projects
