Inquiry into intergenerational fairness and employment practice - 2009

The main focus of the Group’s work in 2009 was a Parliamentary inquiry looking at intergenerational fairness and employment practice. The Group held three inquiry meetings in May, June and October when it heard oral evidence from a number of experts in this area, as well as representatives of the Government and the major Opposition parties. The Group’s inquiry report was launched on 8 December 2009 in the Jubilee Room of the House of Commons.
