Abstract: Do intergenerational conflicts exist across welfare service provision between old and young generations? By using multinomial logit regression on citizens’ willingness to pay for elderly and child welfare services, the authors confirm that older generations prefer services that directly benefit themselves but find little evidence that older generations are less willing to pay additional taxes to fund child welfare services. This paper emphasizes interdependence in welfare service areas and urges the government to improve the capacity to deliver welfare services effectively.
