Elderly, Family and Poverty: Opportunities and Constraints of a Caring Relationship, a webinar organised by CISF (International Centre for Family Studies) HAS BEEN held on 30 June 2021. The event explored the role of older people in the family context, thanks also to the information gathered from the Family international Monitor's 2020 report on Family and Relational Poverty. Below is the CISF press release:
Family and poverty: this is the focus on which the Family International Monitor, set up by Cisf, Istituto Jp2 and Ucam, has concentrated its attention in its first three years of activity, dividing the survey into two strands and examining first relational poverty and then economic-structural poverty. The recent health crisis, and its economic and social consequences, have made even more evident the centrality of these issues as elements of development for a global recovery. The webinar focuses its attention on the role of the elderly within the phenomenological relationship between family and poverty. The FIM 2020 Report in fact highlighted the elderly as a crucial figure in the intergenerational relationship, as a resource for the family, which helps to counteract relational impoverishment in the various social realities. The progressive ageing of the population actually reduces the scope of the intergenerational relationship, accentuating the dimension of the elderly person's need for care within the family. The webinar will offer useful hints for the understanding of a complex and multidimensional phenomenon.
