Abstract WP21-01

Few data sources provide information on private transfers between generations and gender. We use a novel approach based on the National Transfer Accounts methodology to estimate the value of intra-family transfers between generations and gender in Austria 2015. The paper considers transfers of money and consumption goods as well as transfers of services produced by non-market work. Parents use one third of their disposable income and up to four hours of daily non-market work for their children. The total size of the intra-family transfers is comparable to the size of public social transfers and correspond to 38 per cent of primary income.
