Intergenerational family contract: the views of young generation

Abstract: 
The article presents an empirical analysis of the intergenerational family contract, which is a set of norms, expectations and obligations regulating relations between generations and age groups. As a theoretical design, the “solidarity model” was used. The views of young people on mutual kinship obligations of adult children and their parents, as well as behavior in a specific situation, were studied. Empirical analysis has shown that student’s views on mutual obligations of generations retain their traditional features and at the same time have their own characteristics that allow us to identify possible vectors for changes in the intergenerational contract.
