Addressing Generational Inequity: Need for Urgent Reform

Newcastle Institute presents:

Addressing Generational Inequity: Need for Urgent Reform

It now takes over 10 years to save a deposit for a house compared to 5 years, thirty years ago. Why?

One of the biggest lenders for young people today is the bank of mum and dad. Why?

What are the structural impediments in the Australian tax and policy systems that contribute to generational inequity?

At the  Newcastle Institute event on June 11^th, 2025, Evan Lucas, economic futurist will be discussing intergenerational inequity and the need for tax and policy reform to address the social and economic impacts. With a focus on behavioural economics, Evan will use economic research, demographics and behavioural dynamics to challenge our views on economic policy and reforms. Evan is recognised as one of the most effective and influential economic communicators in Australia, with regular appearances on ABC and other news channels. 

For social and economic reasons, it is not in Australia’s interest to have the extent of generational inequity that exists today. Policy responses may be confronting for older Australians, but we cannot continue to ignore the data of this growing gap. Be prepared to be challenged at this next event by evidence and data presented by this stimulating expert on the economic future of Australia.

When: Wednesday, 11th June 2025 6.00pm - 7.30pm 
Where: Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, Hannell Street, Wickham
