In this week's episode, we hear from Dr Paul Kershaw, the founder of the think and change tank, Generation Squeeze. Hard work isn't paying off for young people the way that it used to--compared to older generations, young people go to school for longer and work harder, only to receive lower pay, unaffordable housing, growing debt, and worsening climate change. After learning this through his research, Paul could tell that public policies were at the root of the problem--which also meant they were a key solution. Paul shares his insights on how climate change fits into generational fairness, and the work he's been doing with Generation Squeeze to influence policy change across party lines.
