PEW RESEARCH CENTER 2014 INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONS 3-NATION SURVEY

The Pew Research Center 2014 Intergenerational Relations 3-Nation Survey examined attitudes toward family, aging, living arrangements, and finances across the United States, Italy, and Germany. Conducted in late 2014, the survey collected nationally representative samples in each country, with interviews carried out via landline and cell phone using random-digit dialing (RDD).

The dataset is not intended to be analyzed in the aggregate; instead, each country must be analyzed separately using the COUNTRY2 variable and the provided weight variable (WEIGHT).

Samples included targeted oversamples of “sandwich generation” respondents (ages 40–64) with at least one surviving parent aged 65+ and at least one child.
