One school of thought views intergenerational conflict through the prism
of intragenerational inequality. For example, Turra and Holz (2009) using NTA data for Brazil stress a view of government as controlled by class interests in which most public pension benefits are directed to the wealthy elderly and most public tertiary education benefits are directed toward wealthy university students. Although studies for Asia are limited, we
hope that enriched microeconomic data can shed light on this issue soon.
