Description

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. What IF we didn’t have a cohort of struggling students?

We research intergenerational fairness and the social contract between the generations and call for a fairer settlement for the young today and generations that follow. Our charity number is 1142230
