Debate: the Ageing Population

Liberate is an equality charity that welcomes people irrespective of gender, race, age, religious belief, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity. We were founded in February 2014 in Guernsey and have a branch in Jersey.The purpose of Liberate is to educate and inform on a wide range of minority issues and to support those who identify as part of a minority or visible minority, their families and friends. We campaign to reform policies and laws to ensure that minorities can enjoy the same freedoms as everyone else across the Channel Islands. We also question social attitudes and behaviours that discriminate against minorities, and offer advice and help in tackling racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, etc.Liberate’s vision is simple. We believe in a fair and equal society, where everyone is born equal and free, and treated with dignity and respect.

Debate: As a society we’re living longer than our parents, and grandparents. Who’s going to pay for the cost of keeping us alive longer?

The Royal Yacht Hotel

<p>As a society we’re living longer than our parents, and much longer than our grandparents. But there are wide disparities. On average the rich make older bones than the poor. Do we have a collective moral duty to even that out? Is everyone entitled to a comfortable old age, particularly those who do not take early retirement? But if we keep everyone alive as long as possible, who’s going to pay for the increased pension burden and the ongoing care? Is legislation to protect and support carers needed in Jersey? </p><p>A panel and audience members debate the issue.</p>
