The context of the conference will be both national and global, and we'll explore some very new perspectives towards tackling the challenge to find a more equitable approach to inter-generational economics. Key speakers will include James Heckman, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics, and Lord Willetts, author of ‘The Pinch’ and president of The Resolution Foundation.
Some of the key issues we’ll be discussing are:
- Using the human life cycle as an opportunity to empower disadvantaged young people with the resources and life skills they need to achieve their potential;
- Achieving an attitudinal transformation among disadvantaged young people by using incentivised learning of those life skills;
- The current application of legacies, and how inheritance taxes are applied and used in different countries;
- The impact of technology on both wealth polarisation and employment opportunities for young people, and putting forward a less subservient and more encouraging alternative to Universal Basic Income.
