How to address intergenerational inequality with Lord David Willetts

The discussion will focus on the main themes in the recently updated version of David’s fascinating and challenging book ‘The Pinch: how the baby boomers stole their children’s future – and why they should give it back’ which explores how decades of public policy have stretched intergenerational inequality to unsustainable levels.

• What is the state of intergenerational inequality and how should we measure it?

• Why has intergenerational inequality become so acute over the past 40 years?

• What are the main options for addressing intergenerational inequality?

• What role can the banking and finance industry play?

• How will the Covid crisis affect intergenerational inequality?

We expect the guests to be a combination of senior practitioners in asset management and pensions, as well as policy specialists.
