What is at stake?
- Why inequality matters and how does it differ across countries and between groups or generations?
- Are younger people exposed to more risk and higher costs than their parents and grandparents when it comes to providing financial security in retirement in a context of ageing populations?
- Is access to property in general and housing in particular, an ever growing challenge for the young generations and is it the same in other countries? Is there too much wealth concentration and too many empty houses lying around that could be used more efficiently?
- What can people and governments do about the risks and tensions that inequalities lead to? Could there be better redistribution and sharing of resources and risk? Can it happen naturally? Does it need to happen?
