Mike Brewer

Mike Brewer, Interim Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation and Visiting Professor at LSE, dives into the UK's growing generational wealth gap. He discusses how household wealth has nearly doubled due to soaring house prices, but young people struggle with homeownership. Income stagnation since the mid-2000s has hit younger cohorts particularly hard. Brewer also explores recent shifts in generational wealth dynamics, suggesting that millennials are starting to improve their economic standing while proposing solutions for addressing systemic disparities in wealth distribution.
