Intergenerational Fairness & Provision Committee

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our #intergenerationalfairness inquiry, and for letting us know what you think of the @LordsIFPReport. The time has come for us to say goodbye, and it’s now over to you to see if the Government take up our recommendations

After the Government response, which will be due on 25 June, the #LordsIFPReport is debated in the @UKHouseofLords Chamber so we will make sure we let you know when to watch!

We are nearing the end of the Committee process, remember our step by step guide? We are now waiting for 17/19 and the Government response to the #LordsIFPReport

On 13 November @ionaflawrence of The Cares Family: @LiverpoolCares, @ManchesterCares, @SouthLDNCares, @NorthLDNCares, Rebecca Carter from @TheChallenge_UK and @DrLibbyDrury from @BirkbeckUoL discussed #community projects, #intergenerational contact and combatting age stereotypes

Local #communities need our support and the #LordsIFPReport wants the Government to guarantee funding for #community projects tackling #intergenerationalunfairness

The #LordsIFPReport wants to build on the work #communities are already carrying out, and #encourage other #communities to try these initiatives and #inspire new #community activity

#communities and #communityaction are already tackling #intergenerationalunfairness and help to #connect #generations. #LordsIFPReport asks #localauthorities to #share the amazing work #communities are carrying out and provide information on how these services are being run

As you can see from @TheFCA tweet below, they have published a paper on #Intergenerational Differences. The #LordsIFPReport asks that @TheFCA and the Government help to ensure a regulatory framework that encourages products that allow transfers between #generations

@DrAnnaDixon, CEO of @Ageing_Better, Brian Beach from @ILCUK and Professor Jacqueline O’Reilly from @SussexUBusiness highlighted #lifelonglearning, #longevity and the impact of #flexibleworking

#LordsIFPReport is aware of the difficulties facing #oldergenerations, and #ageism is still a problem which we need to do more to address

#flexibility in the #workplace is something that was raised throughout our oral and written evidence – so we listened and here is our #recommendation to promote #flexibility

Next we have #jobs, and the #LordsIFPReport has recognised and responded to the #instability faced by #youngergenerations in the #jobmarket

Professor Sir John Hills from @CASE_LSE, Warwick Lightfoot from @Policy_Exchange, @carysroberts from @IPPR and @rorymeakin from @the_tpa talked to the Committee about changes to the #tax system they would like to see

With difficulties evident in #housing, we believe #stampduty has a huge impact on #buyingproperty and #sellingproperty. The Government needs to review this to help #youngergenerations get on the #housingladder

The #LordsIFPReport asks for reform of the #counciltax system which is no longer fit for purpose

Controversial as they may seem, the #LordsIFPReport #taxation recommendations are drawn from evidence. As we work longer it is not fair that #oldergenerations do not pay #nationalinsurance. We are asking the Government to review this, whilst still protecting the most #vulnerable

The Committee’s first session in October looked at #education and #lifelonglearning with @JulianGravatt from the @AoC_info, Professor Andrew Scott of @LBS and @SB_Kelleher Head of @EduSkillsHE from @PolicyConnect. Hear what their #recommendations were

#lifelonglearning was a priority in the #LordsIFPReport, and the two recommendations below aim to encourage greater structure and support for #learning throughout the #lifecourse #100yearlife
