In this project we evaluate several policies from an intergenerational fairness point of view, following the “Framework for Intergenerational Fairness” developed by SOIF and Gulbenkian. A policy is fair to all generations if: it allows people of all ages to meet their needs; meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, or permits to correct existing/future intergenerational inequalities. On the other hand, a policy is considered unfair if it satisfies at least one of the following conditions:
- Increases inequality between generations;
- Increases intragenerational inequality;
- Strengths the transmission of inequality through generations;
- Restricts the choices of future generations;
