Intergenerational fairness is an increasingly pressing concern for both policy makers and the public. It is exacerbated by an ageing population, the global financial crisis and successive government policies that have failed to consider generational issues. This report reaches six main conclusions: lack of political will has meant that data is not published on generational differences in income and wealth, nor on the potential effects of policy on different generations at the time policy is being considered; many younger people are struggling to secure affordable housing – this is caused by the failure of successive governments to ensure a sufficient supply of affordable homes to buy and to rent; younger people are also disadvantaged by an education and training system that is ill equipped for the needs of the rapidly changing labour market and all generations will need support in adapting to technological change in the course of what will be longer working lives; pay progression has slowed for younger generations – they are unlikely to enjoy the same generation on generation income gains that their predecessors received; active communities have a key role to play in meeting these generational challenges – communities and a strong sense of place strengthen intergenerational bonds by bringing generations together and sustaining shared loyalties; the tax and spending policies of successive governments have failed to pay sufficient regard to longer term policy consequences – they have undermined intergenerational fairness, including for generations yet to be born.Intergenerational fairness is an increasingly pressing concern for both policy makers and the public.

This consultation sets out policy proposals to protect adults and young people aged 16 years and over from discrimination on the basis of age in relation to goods, facilities and services, charities, premises, education, public functions, and private clubs and associations. The scope of the proposals is therefore broader than goods, facilities and services alone. The proposals also cover health and social care and financial services, setting out the evidence of current discriminatory practice, scope and exceptions of proposals and how these would work in practice. The consultation ends on 8 October 2015. (Edited publisher abstract)

An evaluation of a project designed to increase engagement and leadership skills of young people in youth‐led musical activity, to build intergenerational community links, and to help older people increase subjective wellbeing and engagement during youth led music sessions. The project Taking the Lead on Music for Wellbeing was set up by Arts Derbyshire. Three groups of young Derbyshire musicians developed their musical performance and leadership skills specific to taking this work into older people’s care settings in their community. Results showed that overall the project was seen as positive by the young people, the older people, care staff and music staff involved. The older people felt energised and enjoyed taking part in the music sessions, enjoying the music, but also interacting with the younger people. (Edited publisher abstract)

This document uses precedent projects to help order and conceptualise the desires of people who have taken part in the workshops, and focus groups hosted by Pride of Place Living. The key objective of Pride of Place Living is to establish a purpose-built multigenerational life-long and inclusive housing community for the LGBTQ+ community in Leeds. The project plans to accommodate a range of LGBTQ+ housing needs including homes for people over 50, some with care needs, for families, for young people and for those at risk of homelessness. It is particularly keen to be inclusive and ensure people from black and other minority ethnic backgrounds, trans and non-binary and disabled people are represented in the LGBTQ+ beneficiaries. Three initial themes were used to prompt the workshops and focus groups: solidarity and safety, living environment, and accessibility. The outcomes set out in this document have informed seven key design principles: many participants had the same desires, where there have been conflicting opinions, questions have been posed. These principles will form the foundation of a design brief for Pride of Place Living to proceed with the next stages of the procurement process. (Edited publisher abstract)

This briefing is part of a series of insights on loneliness in Wales based on bespoke analysis of the National Survey for Wales (NSW). The series is designed to provide policy makers and public services with a greater understanding of who is lonely so that funding and interventions to tackle loneliness can be designed and delivered most effectively. This data insight combines three years’ worth of NSW data to identify levels of overall, emotional, and social loneliness among different groups and explore how age interacts with other characteristics to show which groups are especially vulnerable to loneliness. It highlights the acute risk of loneliness faced by people experiencing multiple forms of disadvantage and the importance of targeted policy and public service funding and interventions to support them. The data reveals that: younger people are lonelier than older people, especially those aged 16-24 – those aged under 64 are significantly more socially lonely than older age groups; for all age groups, higher deprivation translates into higher levels of loneliness – those aged 16-24 living in the 20% most deprived areas of Wales are the loneliest; among those aged 25-64, people from ethnic minority backgrounds are lonelier than those who identify as White British; those with a long-term illness, disability or infirmity, across all age groups, are lonelier than those without; having a poorer level of general health means higher levels of loneliness across all age groups.
