International Day for Elderly People
Having a good intergenerational relationship provides a solid foundation for families, according to a recent study by the Maria Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). The intergenerational survey was carried out with the involvement of 1000 adults; young people aged 18-25 and elderly ones aged 65-75. Both generations are basically pro-marriage and pro-child, while mutual support is also seen as extremely important.
