What are the structural impediments in the Australian tax and policy systems that contribute to generational inequity?
At the Newcastle Institute event on June 11th, 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.
