| Summary: | Acknowledging that the 21st century is characterized by a significant rise in
life expectancy and a growing aging population, this societal shift has
become a central focus in numerous public policies. The focus of this
article is to delve into the attitudes of Generation Z concerning
intergenerational connection and solidarity, particularly towards older
adults. The primary objective of this paper is to analyze society's
readiness for intergenerational solidarity and mutual respect, with a keen
awareness of the obstacles that may hinder such progress, focusing on older
adults and Generation Z. The research is based on a questionnaire on the
attitudes of Generation Z about intergenerational solidarity towards older
adults. Results indicate that Generation Z currently spends limited time
with older adults but has a legitimate desire to spend more time with older
adults. Moreover, this generation deeply respects older adults, recognizing
their vital role as integral links in our society. They are committed to
providing love and support to older adults while valuing the wealth of
experience they can learn from. |
