This article analyzes the effects of the number of siblings, their sex composition, and other individualization indicators intertwined with the development of a beanpole - type kin structure on exchanges among generations in Spain. The effects of this development vary depending on the point of view adopted : that of the parents or that of the adult children. Although this development increases the likelihood of not having daughters who continue to act as kin keepers, there are no clear signs of a weakening of inter generational ties deriving from the development of a beanpole - type kin structure. The biggest threat for the density of intergenerational relationships derives not so much from this development but from the geographical dispersion of generations caused by the lack of professional and employment opportunities for the younger generations.
