Levelling the Playing Field: Addressing Intergenerational Inequality

The young have suffered from stagnant wage growth since the 2008 financial crisis and rapidly rising house prices. They now also pay far more in tax than they did 10 years ago, and are far behind previous generations in home and asset ownership. The pandemic will have exacerbated this; educational opportunities have diminished, early career opportunities have been curtailed and social freedoms have been curbed. This is to say nothing of the fact that the burden of paying for the pandemic will fall on the young, who will likely be doing so for their entire lives. 

The Adam Smith Institute is researching the underlying causes of intergenerational unfairness and the Government’s approach to supporting the prosperity of the younger working population. 

At Conservative Party Conference, we will discuss policies that can boost opportunities for young people, renewing aspiration as a core value of the Conservative Party.
