Prof. Wojciechowski: Was it better before? Two snowballs over the young generation

Krzysztof Adam Kowalczyk argues that the Polish government is burdening the youth with debt while benefiting older generations. Currently, young people's disposable incomes are rising faster than those of older individuals, but they face challenges in achieving financial independence and home ownership. The article highlights two significant issues: the accumulation of wealth through inheritance and the increasing public debt. As Poland's population ages, economic growth may slow, exacerbating these issues. The author calls for greater youth engagement in public debates about the economy and intergenerational equity, emphasizing the need for policies that support young people's wealth accumulation and address public debt sustainably.
