AnnotationThis is the Resolution Foundation's fourth report for the Intergenerational Commission, and builds on previous work on the earnings of different generations. It examines household income, specifically changes in income and changes in inequalities between and within different generations. It looks at income differences between and within the generations, to consider intergenerational fairness in a wider context. It explores the reasons for and implications of one of the biggest living standards shifts of recent years: a significant relative rise in the increase of retired households relative to working age households. While average incomes of each generation have consistently been higher than those of previous generations when they were the same age, so far, this has not held true for millennials (those born between 1982 and 2000): their incomes after housing costs are no higher than generation X before them.
