Using a survey that was conducted among students and based on the principles of the “dictator game”, it was found that the ability of the government to modify the distribution of income in the economy for the benefit of young-persons ages 20–30, or only for the neediest among them, is limited. This is especially true when the number of children in the family is large and when the parents’ age is younger. We found that the average altruism level of young-persons ages 20-30toward their parents is high (0.8). Key factors that significantly affect the level of altruism are the gender of the child, whether there is a single child, and whether or not the children live with their parents. Additionally, the empirical analysis identifies families with parents that have various motivations to support their mature children. |
