Abstract
This book grew out of the October 2007 meeting “Intergenerational Solidarity: Strengthening Economic and Social Ties,” organized by the Division for Social Policy and Development, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in New York. The contributors met to discuss substantive issues, reflect on current trends, and make policy recommendations on ways in which existing and future policies could foster solidarity between generations and promote social cohesion. The main goal of the book is to add to the growing body of knowledge regarding intergenerational studies, through contributions that are written by leading experts. With its strong interdisciplinary focus, the present volume addresses intergenerational solidarity from a variety of perspectives and includes important global evidence.
