Abstract: The Welfare State is generally thought to transfer resources from young and future generations to old ones. This opinion, however, is based on a narrow view of the transfer system that focuses on pensions and elderly-care programs. Our paper shows that taking downward educational transfers into account modifies the intergenerational picture. Generations born between 1910 and 1920, who benefited from the public pension system, also paid large educational transfers to their children. Generations born between 1990 and 2000, who will pay large upward transfers to their parents, will receive educational transfers of similar size. Ultimately, generations born between 1950 and 1960 are the least favored, but their losses remain limited.
