Six in ten think spending cuts will hit older people more than other generations

This new report from the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC-UK) commissioned by poverty charity, Elizabeth Finn Care, sets out three principles for maintaining intergenerational fairness in relation to the Spending Review. First, it argues that it should impact fairly across different generations; second, that it should not exacerbate the causes of poverty in later life and lastly, it should not undermine the drivers of increased longevity.
