Inter-generational Rebalancing Conference

About Inter-generational Rebalancing Conference

Inter-generational Rebalancing Conference providing insights into finding a better way of living for future generations - on a global basis. It explores new perspectives towards tackling the challenge in finding a more equitable approach to inter-generational economics.

Key speakers include James Heckman, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics, and Lord Willetts, author of ‘The Pinch’ and president of The Resolution Foundation.

Some of the key issues to be discussed are:
Using the human life cycle as an opportunity to empower disadvantaged young people with the resources and life skills they need to achieve their potential;
Achieving an attitudinal transformation among disadvantaged young people by using incentivised learning of those life skills;
The current application of legacies, and how inheritance taxes are applied and used in different countries;
The impact of technology on both wealth polarisation and employment opportunities for young people, and putting forward a less subservient and more encouraging alternative to Universal Basic Income.
There will be an Academic focus on 14th May, led by Professor Eric French of Cambridge University Economics Faculty.

There will be a Policy focus on 15th May, led by Gavin Oldham OBE, Chair of The Share Foundation, a charity providing starter capital accounts and incentivised learning for young people in care throughout the UK, on behalf of the Department for Education.
