Episode 10: What IF taxes didn’t unfairly target the young?

03/18/22 • 27 min

COVID-19 saw the government spend vast amounts of money – from the furlough scheme, test and trace programme to PPE and vaccines rollout. On top of this our nation went into lockdown, output stalled, and we saw a 9.7% drop in our GDP. Who should pay? Well, young people have being forced to shoulder the costs of social care reform and COVID-19 spending. That's not fair.

The Intergenerational Foundation is a non-party-political charitable think tank that exists to protect the interests of younger and future generations. We research intergenerational fairness and the social contract between the generations and call for a fairer settlement for the young today and generations that follow. Our charity number is 1142230
