“We need to review completely the way we develop our policies to reinforce the social links between generations, to promote a more balanced sharing of responsibilities and to generate equality and justice across European society,” highlighted Anne-Sophie Parent, Director of AGE. “There is an urgent need to address all aspects of intergenerational solidarity in the fields of healthcare, employment, social affairs and equal opportunities,” added Bettina Schwarzmayr, President of the European Youth Forum.
