Abstract
Intergenerational integration is an ideal form of achieving intergenerational solidarity, which has a great deal of importance today, as ever, because of the increasing growth of the elderly population. Few things contribute as much to the fact that the elderly are able to experience their lives as something of value, as does the fact that the younger generation takes their life experiences seriously and listens to them. The young people who socialize with other generations have a more positive view on aging and gain role model for their own old age. The study is to determine the impact the older generation has on the younger, and emphasize the conscious effort for preserving and strengthening intergenerational relationships with the younger generation is one of the needs that must be satisfied for achieving quality aging.
