Justice between age groups is an understudied area in political philosophy. What does it mean to treat different age groups as equals ? Should we apply egalitarian comparison to people born at different times at this specific point in time or over the course of their lives ? Is it permissible to give higher priority to policies that primarily benefit the youngsters ? Don’t inequalities among age groups matter as well as inequalities between age groups ? Should we take the risk of premature death into account ? The present PhD thesis establishes a theoretical framework for age-group justice and makes explicit its implications for practical policy discussions and proposals, Justice between age groups is an understudied area in political philosophy.

La justice entre les classes d'âge est un domaine sous-étudié. Il n'est pas évident de savoir a priori comment traiter de manière équitable deux personnes d'âge différent. L'égalité doit-elle être respectée à chaque moment de la vie de ces personnes ou bien suffit-il de se concentrer sur l'égalité entre leurs vies complètes? Y a t-il des raisons de privilégier les âgés ou les plus jeunes? L'égalité entre les classes d'âge constitue t-elle le seul objectif à poursuivre ou bien faut-il s'intéresser aussi aux inégalités au sein d'une même classe d'âge? Faut-il se préoccuper de ce que les espérances de vie des individus sont différentes? Voilà quelques-unes des questions auxquelles cette thèse a l'ambition de répondre. On trouvera dans la présente thèse l'élaboration d'une théorie complète de la justice entre les classes d'âge avec ses fondements et ses justifications ainsi que son application à des politiques publiques contemporaines.
