Abstract

This article analyses the development of inequalities between the generations in France using a composite indicator including income and life expectancy. Mortality-adjusted disposable income has greatly increased over the generations. However, a breakdown by sex shows that this increasing trend is attributable to rapid growth in women’s income, while men’s income has stagnated for all cohorts born since 1946.

Keywords: Intergenerational inequalities; Income; Mortality, France
