20 percent of the Austrian population are over 60 years old. The specific problems and demands of elderly people are one focus of modern social politics. Successful social policy needs reliable information and knowledge on elderly people's personal circumstances. This study aims at gathering information on certain living conditions of elderly people, their social relationships and help-relationships among themselves but also the problems of the younger generations with their older relatives. In 1971 (Mikrozensus MZ7104) there had already been a study on the living conditions of elderly people.
