“…According to Todd () each type of family produces a different mode of political values transmission (Mamadouh ; Todd ). For instance, in the absolute family (Anglo‐Saxon countries), children develop an early propensity to leave the home to escape from their parents’ authority and develop individualistic opinions (Bonvallet, Clément and Ogg, : 11). In contrast, the nuclear family (southern European countries) is defined by its strong egalitarianism and it produces strong family ties and low propensity to leave home early.…”

The literature on preferences for redistribution has paid little attention to the effect of social mobility on the demand for redistribution and no systematic test of the hypotheses connecting social mobility and preferences for redistribution has yet been done to date. We use the diagonal reference model to estimate the effect of origin and destination classes on preferences for redistribution in a large sample of European countries using data from the European Social Survey. Our findings are consistent with the logic of acculturation in the sense that newcomers tend to adapt their views to those of the destination class at early stages and that upward and downward mobility do not have distinctive effects on the formation of political preferences. However, even though social origins seem to have a limited impact on preferences for redistribution, the evidence does not support the hypothesis that mobile and non-mobile individuals are alike. We also find that the effect of social origin on preferences varies largely across countries. The empirical evidence leads to the conclusion that the effect of social origin on preferences for redistribution increases in contexts of strong familism.

“…Se considera baby boom a la generación en donde se reporta el mayor número de nacimientos de todos los tiempos, comprende a las personas nacidas entre 1946 y 1964 (Bonvalet, Clément & Ogg, 2014); se le conoce también como: "Generación del auge de la natalidad" o "Generación de la postguerra" Grace (2001), el fenómeno del "baby boom" en los países industrializados fue un proceso demográfico contradictorio en la lógica de una fecundidad en declive según la transición demográfica. Van Bavel & Reher (2013) explican que este fue "… un período de resurgimiento demográfico en países desarrollados, especialmente aquellos que participaron en la II Guerra Mundial, que ocurrió entre mediados y finales de la década de 1940s, y la última parte de los sesentas o inicios de los setentas.…”

“…These studies focus on the potential consequences for intergenerational solidarity arising from increasing the length of the working life, both in the public and private domains. Concerning women, combining work and caring has increasingly attracted attention, given the fact that older women are key carers for both their ageing parents and grandchildren (Bonvalet et al 2015;Le Bihan and Martin 2010).…”

France is characterised by a low labour force participation rate after of the age of 60. Recent and current reforms aim to increase the working life: raising the legal retirement age and increasing the duration of insurance contributions to obtain a full pension. Women have more career breaks, higher rates of part-time work and therefore lower pensions than men. Workers in hazardous jobs or with long careers can under certain conditions retire earlier than the legal age of 62 years. The gender inequalities observed in early years of employment are exacerbated in the latter part of the working life.
