Intergenerational Fairness Framework to go live on 16 November

The Intergenerational Fairness (IGF) Framework delivers on a commitment in the Commission's Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness, adopted in March 2026. 

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) built it together with the Commission services and around 200 experts and stakeholders.

The IGF Framework includes six Fairness Indices: social fairness and economic fairness, each for young and for older people, plus environmental fairness and societal resilience. The indices draw on 108 indicators in 27 policy areas, from education and housing to emissions and public debt. An interactive dashboard will show how each country is doing, how it has changed since 2010 and how it compares with the rest of the EU.

The IGF Framework was first be mentioned at the European Parliament plenary session on 13 October. The dashboard will be launched on 16 November at the Intergenerational Fairness Day in Brussels, and the full demonstration will take place on 17 November, during the 10th anniversary of the JRC Competence Centre on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards.

The IGF Sign the Pledge page is already online. Local and regional leaders can sign the pledge through a brief survey, and an interactive map shows the representatives across Europe who have already signed.
