A new treaty between young and old from ENGS European Network Green SeniorsProject Scope: Home Project Abstract: “A new treaty between young and old”
We, the European Network Green Seniors (ENGS), will write “A new treaty between young and old” instead of the slogan „Better that you look after yourselves“
The whole world is growing older and older. But the resources are smaller and smaller. We would like to discuss with all generations and Greens around the world, how we can create and manage a kind of binding law for a new treaty between young and old in the countries, which is suable.
It is not only a question of financing the retirement insurance. It is a question, how to make sure, that governments and states decline their responsibility, to take care for the life quality of all generations.
A new generation contract does not only imply old age care.
It also implies
· The right to participation (e.g. voting rights for young
people)
· The right to prevention and promotion of health instead
of a “medical repair philosophy”
· The right to education for all generations
· The right to work for all generations
· The right to equality between women and men
· The right to justice among the generations (i.e. no
discrimination of young and old, etc.)
Be aware: we fight for the future of everyone.
