Research
Our research exposes intergenerational unfairness and makes the case for practical, evidence-based reforms.
We work across a wide range of policy areas, including health, education, housing, employment, taxation, pensions, democracy, and the climate crisis. We also welcome contributions from external researchers and experts who can help us develop new evidence, challenge short-term thinking and improve the the lives of younger and future generations.
You can also keep up-to-date with the latest academic thinking around intergenerational justice by reading the Intergenerational Justice Review, produced by IF in partnership with Germany’s Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations.
