- Abstract
- Indicators for measuring intergenerational justice often tend to focus on reciprocity (as opposed to more distributive conceptions of justice) and age groups (as opposed to birth cohorts). We provide some descriptive explanations for this decision, but we also point out some normative problems that this decision may bring. Then, we propose three ways the indicators could still remain relevant to an approach that is neither centred on reciprocity nor restricted to age groups. It is, however, essential to insist that these strategies are still imperfect approximations, and that more needs to be done to refine the indicators in order to make them more directly significant from a normative perspective.
