AUSTRALIANS give $22 billion a year to their adult children to help them get established, buy property, and tide them over tough times, a study reveals.
And they give another $1 billion a year to elderly parents.
''We've known parents give to their adult children to help them out; we just didn't know how much they gave,'' said the lead researcher, Lisel O'Dwyer, of the University of Adelaide.
The study, funded by National Seniors, examines the transfer of money and time between Australians aged 50 and over, and their children and elderly parents.
