🔝 Today is the day: the European Day of Demography! 🔵 Demography matters. Evidence on population developments is required for political, social and business planning and decision-making at the European, national and regional levels. 🔵 Demography has a long tradition of data collection, evaluation and analysis: On 4 February 1662, John Graunt completed the first such study, marking the inception of the scientific disciplines of demography and epidemiology. 🔝 Let's talk. About how generations will live together. In the future. This year's topic: Sharing financial and non-monetary resources (e.g. care time) between and within generations can foster a sense of solidarity, social cohesion and resilience. But are these resources distributed fairly? 🔜 Join us online today to discuss one of the most urgent issues in recent policies with eminent experts. 📅 Wednesday, 4 February 2026, 13.00 - 14.30 (CET). 🖋️ You can register here: https://lnkd.in/dptWDRxV 📰 Read our new discussion paper (in German; the authors will conclude and discuss their findings during the event) 💾 https://lnkd.in/d9WySyga We would like to thank the following experts for their valuable contributions to the event and paper: Matthias Albert (Universität Bielefeld) | Bernhard Binder-Hammer (Vienna Institute of Demography (VID)) | Claudia Diehl (Universität Konstanz) | Jane Falkingham (ESRC Centre for Population Change and Connecting Generations | Alexia Fürnkranz-Prskawetz (Technische Universität Wien) | Denis Gerstorf (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) | Karsten Hank (Universität zu Köln) | Klaus Hurrelmann (Hertie School) | Pauline Kleinschlömer (Bundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung – BiB) | C.

What we have worked towards for more than a decade is a fairer settlement across the generations with the welfare state supporting those in most need.
Age alone as a proxy for need is no longer fair & wealthy oldies should not get free handouts. 👏👏

Pensions have risen above wages for the working-age population. It's time to rebalance our welfare system

The National Living Wage has increased along with the welcome reduction of the National Living Wage age threshold from 23 to 21 yrs. This is an important step in the right direction to secure a better deal for young people but, as this article explains, 18 year-old workers should be paid the same rate:

The article by the Intergenerational Foundation explains the recent win on pay for young workers but argues that there is still more to do.

By continuing the freeze on Income Tax and NICs’ thresholds until 2027-28, the government has condemned the young and the poor to bear a larger share of the national tax burden. Read more here:
