Millward Brown: more than half of Poles over 50 help their family financially

According to a study conducted by Millward Brown for the Polish Press Agency (PAP), 57 percent of Poles aged 50 and over help  their children and grandchildren financially, and 44 percent live together. The average amount of monthly assistance is PLN 207. "The younger generation simply cannot afford self-reliance." president of Krajowy Rejestr Długów Adam Łącki said. The biggest group of helping elders are those in their 50s and 60s, which means parents of 20,30 and even 40 year-olds.  The study also shows that people 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 members of family.
