註釋What are the consequences of including private exchanges of supports when evaluating whether there is inter-generational equity in Canada? This general question is the focus of the analysis, which presents related information concerning the exchange of supports between parents and their children. Using the data from the General Social Survey, the book addresses questions related to the general one cited above. When we study intra-familial exchanges of supports how strong are the indications that parents and children adhere to definitions of "inter-generational equity" that are the same as or consistent with the dominant ones found in the major debates? When we study intra-familial exchanges of supports how strong are the indications that children give more to their parents than they receive, due to government income transfer programs? To what extent does the composition of the determinants of flows of inter-generational supports change when private intra-familial exchanges are brought into the scope of measurement of such flows, and what do the potential degrees of compositional shift portend for the assessment of what a given generation provides to others in terms of supports, and hence what it is owed in return for that provision? To what extent do the grounds of the debates concerning inter-generational equity need to be shifted once one takes into account private intra-familial exchanges of supports?
