NIPAG Forum on Youth and Intergenerational Justice in Policy Assessment
Legislative decisions often have far-reaching consequences – some are intended, others are not; some become apparent immediately, others only over the course of decades. But how can these effects on young people and different generations be identified at an early stage and assessed fairly? The “Forum on Young People’s Perspectives and Intergenerational Justice in Regulatory Impact Assessment” organised by the National Institute for Public Administration Germany (NIPAG) will address this key challenge on 26 and 27 November 2026 in Berlin. International researchers, practitioners and decision-makers discuss methodological approaches and practical experiences relating to the incorporation of youth and generational perspectives into legislation. The focus is on tools that integrate intergenerational and youth-related justice into policy evaluation and decision-making. NIPAG is presenting the "Intergenerational Justice Check", as well as its subsequent developments of the Youth Check for the first time. Presentations, discussions and networking provide a forum for academic exchange and new ideas for legislation that also takes into account the perspectives of future generations.

Development of a 'youth-check' in Thuringia
In order to incorporate young people's perspectives into the formulation of administrative policy in the German state of Thuringia, a process known as the 'youth-check' was developed, tested and subsequently introduced. The youth-check is a systematic method for recording and presenting the impact of draft regulations and other official/regulatory measures on young people. It has been developed as a test tool in two versions. The first is designed to assess the youth-specific consequences of legislation and policies at national level, while the second is designed to assess the impact of policies and programmes at local government level.
