Türkiye’de Kuşaklararası Çatışma Algısı

Abstract

Intergenerational conflict has long been neglected as an intrinsic part of intergenerational relationships since the focus was mainly on the solidarity aspect. Addressing this gap in the literature, we attempted to explore the determinants of intergenerational conflict in Turkish society. Using the EQLS 2016 , we conducted a series of analyses, including logistic regression to examine the impact of sociodemographic factors, functional and associational solidarity indicators in shaping the perception of intergenerational conflict. The results of the present analysis indicate that after controlling for the other factors, gender, age cohort, financial adequacy, marital status, employment status, educational attainment level, responsibility of caring for older family member, number of children, regular face-to face interaction have an impact on acknowledging intergenerational conflict. The results show that compared to those who are: male, younger (64 and younger), having higher income and educational attainment level, divorced, single parent, caring for elderly family member, having 4 and more children, people who are: female, older (65 and older), living in rural surrounding, coming from rural and disadvantaged socio-economic background, widowed, working at family business have higher likelihood of acknowledging intergenerational conflict in Turkey.
