The Intergenerational Foundation

Short Changed is the Intergenerational Foundation's new podcast series, where we speak to some of the UK’s leading experts about the issues that matter most to younger and future generations.


Across the series, we explore the policy challenges shaping young people’s lives today and the prospects of future generations tomorrow, from housing and democracy to taxation, student finance, and inheritance.


Short Changed builds on our previous podcast series, WhatIF?, which put young people’s voices at the centre of the policy debate.
