Generations

It’s all about issues of distribution. As resources become scarcer, conflict intensifies. Who calls the shots? Who gets the money? Whose interests matter more? All too often, the lines of conflict run between the old and the young, which is why our new issue is titled “Generations.” 

However, there are also lines that connect the generations. Parents’ decisions and experiences shape their children’s lives, even after they’ve grown up. This applies to health, work arrangements, relationships, and educational opportunities. The June issue of WZB-Mitteilungen thus explores what unites and what divides us, conflict and compromise; it looks far into the future and shows which paths are being set today. 

The print issue is available here as a PDF (in German).
