Important subsidiary trends are in creased average (albeit unequal) longevity\, falling birth rates\, and a t endency for people to have children later in life. The significance of suc h trends for distributive justice is considerable\, as reflected by some r ecently emerging literature around specific issues\, like retirement justi ce.\n\n\n\nBut the significance of population aging is quite comprehensive . What’s needed from political philosophy are accordingly comprehensive principles that govern the distribution of benefits and burdens between bi rth cohorts. Here I identify three core considerations that must guide the formulation of any broader principles for inter-cohort justice in aging s ocieties. These are: (1) An increased asymmetry between cohort size and th e degree to which cohorts fund versus consume state services\, such that y ounger cohorts pay for older ones\; (2) The smaller size of younger cohort s is in some sense the (collective) failure of older cohorts to replace th emselves through sufficient procreation\; (3) the process of demographic a ging couniting as a transition to a more sustainable level of population\, where eventual benefits need to be weighed against substantial costs of t ransition.  \;\n\n\n\nI will aim to develop some general principles th at combine sensitivity to each of these factors in a plausible way. I will then try to sketch some implications\, particularly with regard to the fu ture of work and tax justice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Halliday is an Associa te Professor in Philosophy at the University of Melbourne\, and for the 20 24-25 academic year a Fellow at the New Institute in Hamburg.
