Want to go beyond the headlines? Watch this video to see the #LordsIFPReport’s key findings: youtube.com/watch?v=kwIkK7TA…
Now we have published the #LordsIFPReport, what are the next steps you ask, well…
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!
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
#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
Local #communities need our support and the #LordsIFPReport wants the Government to guarantee funding for #community projects tackling #intergenerationalunfairness
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
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
Intergenerational Fairness & Provision Committee retweeted
Discussion Paper: We publish our paper on Intergenerational Differences to outline our understanding of the financial issues different generations face (DP19/2) fca.org.uk/publications/disc… #fcaconsults
Next we have #jobs, and the #LordsIFPReport has recognised and responded to the #instability faced by #youngergenerations in the #jobmarket
#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
#LordsIFPReport is aware of the difficulties facing #oldergenerations, and #ageism is still a problem which we need to do more to address

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
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
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

The Lord's think we need to reform council tax but what and how raises some important dilemmas - do we want a wealth/property tax? thetimes.co.uk/article/pay-n…
The #LordsIFPReport next focuses on #education, and equipping #youngergenerations with the #skills they need to deal with the complexities of #housing, #renting and #taxation
#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
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
