The UK is currently grappling with the combined challenges of weak economic growth, high inequality and demographic change. These challenges affect different generations in different ways, and threaten the stability of the intergenerational contract, the principle whereby different generations support one another depending on their resources and needs at different stages of their lives.

We need solutions that will drive economic growth, but we also need to rethink how the benefits of that growth are shared between generations. Guaranteeing intergenerational fairness will require the Government and private sector to work together, making difficult decisions, balancing current and future needs and priorities. At the webinar, we reported on the findings from our project, supported by M&G, which explores some of these challenges and how financial products can support intergenerational welfare.

Speakers include:

• Dr Vivien Burrows, Senior Research Fellow, ILC
• Clive Bolton, CEO, Life Insurance, M&G plc
• Molly Broome, Economist, The Resolution Foundation
• Professor Bobby Duffy, Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Policy Institute, King’s College London
