    El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el bienestar y la calidad de vida de las personas mayores de más de 65 que viven en hogares multigeneracionales en comparación con las que viven en su propio hogar en pareja o solos, así como las diferencias existentes entre países respecto al bienestar subjetivo de estas personas, teniendo como telón de fondo el marco del Estado de bienestar, las políticas sociales de dependencia y los modelos familiares en perspectiva comparada. La metodología empleada se basa en análisis descriptivos y análisis de asociación utilizando para ello la denominada técnica “árboles de decisión” a partir de los datos procedentes de la encuesta European Quality of Life, 2011-2012. Los hallazgos apuntan a que vivir en hogares multigeneracionales está inversamente relacionado con la percepción del bienestar y la calidad de vida en el colectivo de personas mayores de 65 años en los países del sur de Europa. De hecho, los resultados sugieren que las políticas sociales de los Estados de bienestar en el norte de Europa contribuyen al bienestar de estas personas en mayor medida que la solidaridad familiar y la corresidencia con los familiares, características propias de los países mediterráneos.

    The aim of this research is therefore to analyse the well-being of people over 65 living in multi-generational households, compared to those who live in their own home, either with a partner or alone. The analysis takes a comparative approach, and seeks to analyse and unravel the differences between countries in terms of the subjective well-being of this segment according to the type of household they live in, against a backdrop of the framework of the welfare state, social policies on dependent care, and family models. The methodology used in this comparative approach consists of applying association analyses based on “decision trees”. The data source used is the European Quality of Life Survey, 2011-2012. The findings show that live in multigenerational households is inversely related to the perception of well-being and quality of life in the group of people over 65 years in the countries of southern Europe. Indeed the results suggest that the social policies implemented by welfare States can satisfactorily contribute to the well-being and quality of life of these groups in the same or greater measure as family solidarity, as evidenced by the results obtained for Nordic countries.
