Much More Than Accommodation in Exchange for Company: Dimensions of Solidarity in an Intergenerational Homeshare Program in Spain
Intergenerational homeshare programs are being implemented,
but they are not often submitted to evaluation. In 2009 and 2010,
an evaluation of the largest intergenerational homeshare program
in the country was conducted. Dimensions of intergenerational
solidarity in the program were assessed through a quantitative
analysis. The program was found to be one in which at least three
dimensions of intergenerational solidarity—associative, affectual,
and functional—are practiced. Results indicate that intergener-
ational homeshare programs should be considered much more
than simple exchanges of accommodation for company. The use
of the solidarity model to evaluate these kind of programs is
recommended
