This returns a comparative index score of intergenerational solidarity for 120 countries covering 92% of the world's population. Throughout, the state of the current research on intergenerational transfers and on the individual metrics used is discussed, and suggestions are made for further improvements and work in measuring intergenerational solidarity.
