Here's why millennials need to inherit rather than earn their wealth

Here's why millennials need to inherit rather than earn their wealth | In the news: data in the UK Data Service collection across the web | Scoop.it
From uk.businessinsider.com - January 6, 2017 7:00 PM

"Millennials need to inherit large sums of cash from dead elderly relatives in order to buy their own home and improve their quality of life. That is according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies which published a report titled "Inheritances and inequality across and within generations" that looked at the economic stability and prospects of people across a diverse group of age ranges."

Resolution Foundation Briefing: Bending the rules - Autumn Statement response

From www.resolutionfoundation.org - November 25, 2016 4:33 AM
" Against a backdrop of significant political and economic uncertainty, Autumn Statement 2016 provided the first official take on the economic impact of the decision to leave the EU and the government’s response to it. The OBR’s view is that the Brexit vote is costly for the UK economy, although not as costly as some others have forecast. It expects the British economy to grow significantly more slowly next year, at 1.4 per cent, as business investment falls and household consumption slows in the face of a renewed squeeze on family budgets."
