“…It is particularly evident that women remain mostly responsible for guaranteeing care within the family, for the parents as well as for the children. As this phenomenon is still observed, despite the high rates of female participation in the job market (Arriagada, 2000;Coimbra et al, 2013), it is important to perceive whether this trend continues in the next generation.…”

“…Although emerging adults and/or members of the generation me are not described as selfi sh or spoiled (Arnett, 2007;Twenge, 2006), it seems probable that their characteristics, strongly marked by the individualistic ideology as an appeal to personal accomplishment (Lago, Souza, Kaszubowski, & Soares, 2009), can compromise their current help behaviors and their intentions to give help in the future. Particularly when, for the fi rst time in recent history, no improvement in living conditions is expected for the younger generation when compared to their parents' generation (Chauvel, 2006;Coimbra, Ribeiro, & Fontaine, 2013;Yarrow, 2009). …”

The increasing dependency of emerging adults (EA) on their family of origin and their lower future expectations challenge intergenerational family support exchanges and may affect their impact on satisfaction with life. This study aims to examine the mediation effect of familism, filial maturity, and relationship satisfaction between different directions of support (received, given and anticipated between both) and satisfaction with life. Data was collected through the administration of self-report questionnaires to a convenience sample of 243 EA (18-30 years old) of both genders, students and workers, of different socioeconomic statuses. Results corroborate the mediation effect of the study variables and suggest that the magnitude of this impact depends on the direction of the support: partial mediations are observed for the received support, whereas total mediations are observed for the given support.

“…This culture affects the weakening of the bond of an individual with the community (Sztompka, 1996). Webber and Giuffre (2019) and Coimbra et al (2013) indicate that gender affects interpersonal relationships, including solidarity. Females show willingness to help others to a greater extent than males do (Selten and Ockenfels, 1998).…”

The analyses presented in this paper come from a representative study 'Social Diagnosis' conducted in Poland. The specific models for each question were estimated using the logistic regression model. Findings: The research confirmed that individual personal characteristics do affect decisions that people make in everyday life. Each of the variables discussed in the paper affects solidarity. Similar to other studies, this study also shows that income, education, religion and a high number of friends increases solidarity, support to others. Unlike in many previous studies, it is indicated that men are more likely to engage in helping others. Undoubtedly, this is due to the specific socioeconomic conditions occurring in the postsocialist economy of a developing country. Practical Implications: In order to increase cooperation in different societies, people should be encouraged by the state to display appropriate behaviours, and factors influencing these behaviours should be supported. Due to the socioeconomic development of the country, the levels of income or education of individual residents can be influenced in the long run. However, increasing solidarity can also be influenced indirectly, for instance, by initiating actions that support social integration or social and professional activity of people. Originality/Value: It is a first article about solidarity based on the research conducted among more than 22,000 respondents. The results obtained in the article are slightly different from those presented in other studies. However, they appear to be characteristic of former socialist countries, because people in these countries, after 45 post-war years, need to change themselves in order to be more cooperative.

“…Para além disso, perante a crise económica e a consequente escassez de recursos, aumenta a probabilidade de maior competição do que solidariedade entre gerações. 8 Portanto, modelos políticos e educativos de assimilação, integração e inclusão refletem concessões sobre a diferença/diversidade que espelham a ideia de que a diferença é pensada não como desvio exótico, mas numa preocupação «exclusivamente ocidental». 3 Da mesma forma, as políticas sociais no modo como contemporaneamente se configuram na atual sociedade de risco, estão fundadas no princípio da gestão do risco e de responsabilidade individual.…”

“…Uma outra forma de descrever a realidade organizacional, segundo Lévy, é defini-la como "tecido discursivo", cuja trama (as regras) constitui a ordem simbólica, a história, e cujo fio (as representações, o sentido) constitui a ordem imaginária. Desta forma, torna-se claro que as exigências da sociedade no tecido familiar ocasionem alterações significativas nas vivências/convivências da solidariedade intergeracional: -os jovens, como afirmam Coimbra, Ribeiro & Fontaine, 8 …”

RESUMOAs mudanças demográficas, o envelhecimento populacional e a complexidade dos fenômenos sociais na contemporaneidade anunciam o distanciamento entre diferentes grupos etários. Objetivo: descristalizar preconceitos face à idade (idadismo) na sensibilização de maior solidariedade e convivências/interações entre gerações. Método: no percurso da intervenção comunitária, para entender o impacto de um Encontro no âmbito do Ano Europeu do Envelhecimento Ativo e Solidariedade entre Gerações (AEEASE), validado a partir de quatro grupos (2 grupos de idosas e 2 grupos de jovens) num total de 100 intervenientes. A amostra foi constituída por dois grupos de 25 pessoas idosas; um que participou no encontro e outro que não participou e outros dois grupos de 25 jovens distribuídos de igual modo; todos da região do Porto, Portugal. Neste artigo, pretende-se refletir sobre a pertinência destes encontros na promoção da educação intergeracional impulsionadora de solidariedades e cidadania participativa. Partiu-se da aplicação de um questionário aos participantes e não participantes do Encontro. Resultados: os dados sugerem menor concordância no item do suicídio entre aqueles que participaram no encontro e proporcionalmente níveis mais elevados de concordância no item do idadismo. É de salientar o item do preconceito, em relação aos jovens, expresso no grupo das pessoas idosas, entusiasmado pela forma eloquente como a Coordenadora do encontro AEEASE falou a favor das pessoas idosas. Considerações finais: em suma, particularmente para as pessoas idosas, esta intervenção terá de ser alargada e sustentada no tempo e baseada no diálogo simétrico, para contribuir na desconstrução de estereótipos em relação aos jovens.
