“Today’s report by the Intergenerational Commission - A new generational contract - raises some serious issues and interesting potential solutions as to how we can create a society where we can all enjoy a decent quality of life, regardless of the generation in which we were born.
“This is not a debate that should be framed as old versus young. Recent research by Ipsos MORI shows that older generations are concerned about the challenges facing young people, and younger people recognise that wider issues are to blame.
“Inequality within generations makes this picture significantly more nuanced than is often painted. Every generation is affected by issues like poor quality housing and lack of decent employment opportunities.
“Changing society so we can all enjoy lives spent in good health, good work and good housing must be a collective endeavour.”
