To what extent is intergenerational fairness a welfare issue? What effects are these changes projected to have over time? Are they sustainable? What have the long-term trends been? How does the welfare system interact with other areas of public expenditure and income and wealth in the wider economy, including issues of health, education and housing Is the triple-lock necessary to prevent future increases in pensioner poverty?
