It's International Mother Tongue Day! Languages are playing an important role in #IntergenerationalLinking, helping connections to form:
"I am enjoying using my [Turkish] language skills to speak to the older people, it makes me feel special for having a skill not everyone has”
ALT "Welcome" is written in different languages and colours
Turn on @BBCRadio4 @AndrewMarr9 now to hear @BobbyDuffyKings and others talking about #generations.
Duffy gives us a great metaphor of 3 generational dimensions: period, life-cycle and cohort effects are like currents, waves and tides.

In which I suggest that women are not "forgetting to have babies", but that we live in a society which penalises women for having babies.
Maternity discrimination, cost of childcare, lack of flexible working... These are the obstacles we face- not a lack of fertility education.

Yours truly argues here that generational identities didn't start with #Boomers or #Millennials - the concept's history goes back to the French Revolution via the generation @Born1819 and more.

Housing for young and old is not a zero sum game.
Creating more good-quality homes for older people, including housing-with-care, will free up housing for young people and help create centres of intergenerational mixing.
