The Intergenerational Foundation

Short Changed is the Intergenerational Foundation's new podcast series, where we speak to some of the UK’s leading experts about the issues that matter most to younger and future generations. Across the series, we explore the policy challenges shaping young people’s lives today and the prospects of future generations tomorrow, from housing and democracy to taxation, student finance, and inheritance. Short Changed builds on our previous podcast series, WhatIF?, which put young people’s voices at the centre of the policy debate.

Is that the case?  If you want to find out more about the work of the Intergenerational Foundation: Take a look at our website Follow us on Instagram Read Jim Dickinson's work at WonkHE The Intergenerational Foundation is a research charity fighting for a fairer deal for younger and future generations.

    Episode 14: What IF we didn’t have a cohort of struggling students

    University for young people today is expensive.  Current students will be paying off their loans for the next 30 years, and 2023-24 university starters will be paying off for 40 years. Most will never repay their debt. Instead they will be on a treadmill of interest payments for the majority of their working life.
