Abstract: Our present study proposes to debate the problem of intergenerational justice and also, we try to measure how strong the correlation between Intergenerational Justice Index (IJI) and Human Development Index (HDI) is. Our interest is to see if the states with highest human development would guarantee a high intergenerational justice degree and, at the same time, if a high intergenerational justice determines a higher level of human development. Using a nonparametric correlation for 29 states of OECD, we find that a weak correlation exists between these two indices and we can conclude that a high level of human development is not determined by a high level of intergenerational justice or that a high level of intergenerational justice is not conditioned by a high level of human development.
