Towards a major intergenerational conflict?

OECD countries could face a major intergenerational conflict in the future between “young” and “old”, resulting from a number of factors: The weight of pension spending, which will give rise to a tax burden that the young will deem excessive; The climate, with the young wanting a rapid energy transition and the old wanting to preserve their previous fossil fuel-hungry way of life; Asset prices, which expansionary monetary policies have driven up, which is positive for the old (owners of assets) and negative for the young; Employment, as labour market flexibility is borne by the young to the benefit of the old.
