The conclusion reflects on key alignments and differences across the book’s chapters. Overall, this volume shares a frustration at the simplistic, reductive and conflict-inducing ways in which the generations concept has been used, including obscuring other significant social inequalities. Nonetheless, we feel that the concept has sufficient critical purchase and real explanatory power for understanding both the life-course and historical change, that it is worth rehabilitating, in order to nuance it and make it fit for purpose in further study. The chapter closes with a vision of future research in the field, which we hope will be led by the new BUP book series focusing on ‘Generations, Transitions and Social Change’.
