Abstract The increase in longevity and the ageing of society generate changes that can be understood as processes of transition. On the one hand, we see the importance of maintaining intergenerational relations through a beanpole type of family structure, which binds together many generations with few members. On the other hand, in the care-giving sphere, the transition is marked by a balance between giving and receiving care related to age. Lastly, in terms of mobility, we find the importance of residential changes, which involve not only emancipation from the parental home or cohabitation with elderly family members, but the appearance of both increasing residential proximity and distancing . Based on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and the Census  Hub of Eurostat, we illustrate these changes for Europe as a whole.
