Résumé
This book provides an original and challenging analysis of one of the most pressing social issues of our times : intergenerational inequality. Based on recent mixed-method research, it explores the extent and scope of generational divides through an up-to-date analysis of the changing opportunities for young people in Britain across different life domains. A central question addressed is whether current changes are best understood as growing inequalities within and across age groups, or whether we face a genuine intergenerational decline over the life course of this and future generations of youth.
Andy Green's controversial manifesto for intergenerational equity includes replacing higher education fees with a tax on graduates of all ages ; the introduction of capital gains tax on sales of first homes ; voting at 16, and a new charter of rights for private tenants.
