The article addresses the strength and character of intergenerational family solidarity under different family cultures and welfare state regimes in order to answer the following two questions: (1) Is intergenerational solidarity stronger under the more collectivist southern family tradition than under the more individualist northern tradition? (2) Is more generous access to social care services a risk or a resource for family care? These questions are explored with data from the OASIS project, a comparative study among the urban populations aged 25+ (=6,106) in Norway, England, Germany, Spain, and Israel. The findings indicate that the welfare state has not crowded out the family in elder care, but has rather helped the generations establish more independent relationships. Intergenerational solidarity is substantial in both the northern and southern welfare state regimes, and seems to vary in character more than in strength.
本文探讨了不同家庭文化和福利国家制度下代际家庭团结的强度和特征，以回答以下两个问题：（1）在更具集体主义的南方家庭传统下，代际团结是否比更具个人主义的北方传统更强？（2）获得更慷慨的社会护理服务对家庭护理来说是一种风险还是一种资源？通过“绿洲”项目的数据对这些问题进行了探讨，该项目是对挪威、英国、德国、西班牙和以色列25岁及以上城市人口（=6106人）进行的一项比较研究。研究结果表明，福利国家在老年人护理方面并没有排挤家庭，而是帮助各代人建立了更独立的关系。代际团结在北方和南方福利国家制度中都很显著，而且在特征上的差异似乎大于在强度上的差异。
