Abstract

In this chapter we examine transmission between family members at different life course phases, for example between great-grandparents and their children and grandchildren and between parents and adult children. We look at different kinds of resources which are transmitted between individuals from different family generations — both material resources and care, up and down the generations and the processes of reciprocity.
