This book provides an original and challenging analysis of one of the most pressing social issues of our times: intergenerational inequality. Based on recent mixed-method research, it explores the extent and scope of generational divides through an up-to-date analysis of the changing opportunities for young people in Britain across different life domains. A central question addressed is whether current changes are best understood as growing inequalities within and across age groups, or whether we face a genuine intergenerational decline over the life course of this and future generations of youth. Andy Green?s controversial manifesto for intergenerational equity includes replacing higher education fees with a tax on graduates of all ages; the introduction of capital gains tax on sales of first homes; voting at 16, and a new charter of rights for private tenants. 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducation?Economic aspects 606 $aEducational sociology  606 $aEducation and sociology 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aEducation Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W36000 606 $aEducation Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33030 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducation?Economic aspects. 615 0$aEducational sociology . 615 0$aEducation and sociology. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aEducation Economics. 615 24$aEducation Policy. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a379 700 $aGreen$b Andy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0545225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910231237003321 996 $aThe Crisis for Young People$91921147 997 $aUNINA
