The Crisis for Young People by Andy Green
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides an original and challenging analysis of one of the most pressing social issues of our times: intergenerational inequality. Based on recent mixed-method research, it explores the extent and scope of generational divides through an up-to-date analysis of the changing opportunities for young people in Britain across different life domains. A central question addressed is whether current changes are best understood as growing inequalities within and across age groups, or whether we face a genuine intergenerational decline over the life course of this and future generations of youth. Andy Green’s controversial manifesto for intergenerational equity includes replacing higher education fees with a tax on graduates of all ages; the introduction of capital gains tax on sales of first homes; voting at 16, and a new charter of rights for private tenants.Andy Green is Professor of Comparative Social Science at the UCL Institute of Education, and Director, since 2008, of the ERSC-funded Research Centre on Learning and Life Chances (LLAKES). His recent research has focused on social cohesion regimes and the changing opportunity structures for young people. His latest books include: Handbook of Global Education Policy, 2016; Education and State Formation: Europe, East Asia and the USA; 2013 and Regimes of Social Cohesion: Societies and the Crisis of Globalisation, 2011.
