A Young Generation Under Pressure?

Justice between generations is still not as prominent on any agenda as justice between the rich and the poor or between men and women. For the first time, this three part book explores the situation of the young cohorts of today in comparison to their direct predecessors. The first one, "The Financial Situation of the Young Generation in a Generational Comparison", deals with the financial situation of the young generation and the second part, "The Rush hour of Life", with their time restrictions. Both are considered both from a life course perspective. The third part, "On the path to Gerontocracy", addresses the demographical shift in favour of the elderly in ageing Western democracies.
