Australia’s intergenerational equity debate heats up over fairness, tax and growth

Ahron Young and Dr Steve Enticott discuss intergenerational equity and its impact on Australia’s economy and future wealth

Ahron Young sits down with Dr Steve Enticott of CIA Tax to break down what intergenerational equity really means in today’s Australian economy.

Australia’s intergenerational equity debate is intensifying as questions grow over whether current policies are truly building fairness between younger and older generations or simply reshaping wealth through redistribution. At the heart of the discussion is whether the system is delivering opportunity or deepening long-term inequality.

Concerns are mounting that weak productivity growth, housing pressures and ongoing fiscal deficits could be locking younger Australians out of wealth creation while increasing future tax burdens. Critics argue the policy focus on redistribution may be overshadowing the structural reforms needed to lift living standards.
