The intergenerational inequity perspective focuses on the disparities between different age groups, particularly in terms of economic and social resources. It argues that older adults may be receiving a disproportionate amount of resources (e.g., through Social Security), which could be at the expense of younger generations. However, it does not typically argue that both older and younger people have been equally affected by inflation, which is a more general economic condition not specific to intergenerational equity issues.
