Intergenerational inequality as a book category examines the economic, social, political and environmental disparities between age cohorts—how resources, opportunities, power and risks are distributed across generations. Works in this category range from academic analyses and policy critiques to investigative journalism, personal memoirs and speculative fiction, and they address topics such as wealth and housing gaps, pension and social-welfare burdens, access to education and jobs, demographic change, ageism, and the long-term impacts of climate change and public debt. These books explore causes (structural change, policy choices, market forces), consequences (reduced social mobility, intergenerational conflict, diminished life chances), and responses (reform proposals, advocacy strategies, ethical debates about fairness), often blending data-driven argument with human stories. Intended for readers interested in public policy, economics, sociology, activism and generational justice, the category balances analytical rigor with accessible narratives to illuminate how today’s decisions shape opportunities for tomorrow’s generations.
