Millward Brown: more than half of Poles after 50 helps financially their familly

According to a study conducted by Millward Brown for the Krajowy Rejestr Długów (KRD), 57 percent of Poles aged 50 and more helps financially their children and grandchildren, and 44 percent admits they live together with their children. The average amount of monthly help is PLN 207. "The younger generation simply cannot afford self-reliance," President of KRD Adam Łącki said. The biggest group of the  helping elders are those in their 50s and 60s, which means they are parents of 20, 30 and even 40 years old.  The study also shows more likely to help are those with a higher education degree and living in towns, who are said to have a bigger income on average, letting them spend money more freely on their members of family.
