Angular parent component listen to a ng-content child component

Question

I want a function to trigger within my parent component when my child component emits an event. The child component is passed into the parent through ng-content. I simplified the code of what I'm trying to do but I can't seem to have the child emit to the parent. I want to pass the child with ng-content because the child component can be a variety of components and not 1 single specific one

Example:

main.ts

<parent-component>
  <child-component></child-component>
</parent-component>

parent.component.ts

<div>
 {{ this.value }}
 <ng-content (updated)="updateParentValue()"></ng-content> <-- this doesn't work
</div>

updateParentValue(value) {
  this.value = value;
}

child.component.ts

<div>
  <span (click)="updateStuff()">update</span>
</div>

@Output() updated = new EventEmitter();

updateStuff() {
  // Stuff
  this.updated.emit(this.value);
}

Thanks Krim, solved it with that link

main.ts

<parent-component>
  <child-component></child-component>
</parent-component>

parent.component.ts

<div>
 {{ this.value }}
 <ng-content></ng-content>
</div>

@ContentChildren(ChildComponent) childComponents: QueryList<ChildComponent>;

ngAfterViewInit() {
   this.childComponents.forEach((childComponent: ChildComponent) => {
       childComponent.updated.subscribe((item) => this.updateParentValue(item));           
   });
}

updateParentValue(value) {
  this.value = value;
}

child.component.ts

<div>
  <span (click)="updateStuff()">update</span>
</div>

@Output() updated = new EventEmitter();

updateStuff() {
  // Stuff
  this.updated.emit(this.value);
}
