The main purpose of this article is to emphasise the critical role of politics and political ideology in determining the nature of intergenerational relations. This is not the only source of influence on intergenerational relations but it has been under-emphasised in scientific inquiry. Social policies embodying political ideology have an impact at both micro and macro levels. The article summarises the ethical basis of generational solidarity, the nature of the social contract, the changes taking place in relations between the generations and the recent impact of political ideology on the social contract. The main point of reference is the UK.
本文的主要目的是强调政治和政治意识形态在决定代际关系性质方面的关键作用。这并非影响代际关系的唯一因素，但在科学探究中一直未得到充分重视。体现政治意识形态的社会政策在微观和宏观层面都有影响。本文总结了代际团结的伦理基础、社会契约的性质、代际关系正在发生的变化以及政治意识形态对社会契约的近期影响。主要参考对象是英国。
