Abstract :

[en] The purpose of this article is to distinguish between two types of generosity of the welfare state towards the elderly. These are: average generosity and generosity towards the poor. We compare these indicators across about 20 countries and show how they relate to each other. In particular, we show that a social protection system that is contributive benefits from a large political support and tends to be generous towards the poor.
