This was, in itself a quite creative approach. Surprisingly, in the end, the expectations were met. A broader social recognition and a broader definition of Work, extending beyond jobs and employment, was possible thanks to the links made between bedrock values and the comparative advantages of different ages. Integrated approaches were recommended for structural reforms. Intergenerational redistribution of income would be accompanied by flexible retirement age which can provide for longer years of productive life but also for new patterns of division of work between generations.
Differences seem to separate generations more then they divide our cultures.
