Debate about the balance to be struck between inter- and intragenerational funding in the two countries took somewhat different courses before and after the crossover in the political persuasion of national governments that occurred in 1996-1997, but both continue to grapple with the question as to whether housing assets of the elderly are a resource for private, intergenerational transfers, or a source of intragenerational funding for aged care.Keywords: Australia; Elderly; Financial Support; Health Care Services; Property; United Kingdom200510.1111/j.1741-6612.2005.00095.x2015-12-12
