The Intergenerational Foundation

The Intergenerational Foundation (IF) is a UK-based thinktank established to promote fairness between generations. IF believe that each generation should pay its own way, which is not happening at present. British policy-makers have given undue advantages to the older generation at the expense of younger and future generations.

Its publications [1] include "Hoarding of Housing",[2][3] "Are Government Pensions Unfair On Younger Generations" [4] and "How the Localism Act Hands Power to Older Generations".

In November 2012 it launched a film competition with The Guardian.[5]

Its co-founders Ashley Seager, Ed Howker, Shiv Malik and Angus Hanton, are regularly cited in the British media.[6]

Co-founders Shiv Malik and Ed Howker are also co-authors of Jilted Generation.[7] and its advisory board includes Professor Jörg Tremmel (director of Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations from 2001-2008)
