Source: Authors’ elaborations on data from SHARE, waves 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6) and from FSS for Italy; individuals aged 60+ y. Sampling weights have been applied in the construction of the IR indicators. ***P < 0.01, **P < 0.05, *P < 0.1. We report separately the estimated associations for the subsample of countries (8) for which we have regional data from SHARE.

Column labels: (1) Number of countries or regional units (NUTS-2; NUTS-1 for Germany); (2) multigenerational household; (3) children <5 km (number, mean) for SHARE and Parents close (percent) for FSS; (4) children living <5 km with contacts (days, mean) for SHARE and Children contacts (mean, days) for FSS; (5) Grandchild care (percent); (6) grandchild care (days, mean).
