À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of the Demographics Decoded Podcast, I explore with Simon Kuestenmacher and I ask the question – Will younger Australians be better off than previous generations. It’s a question that used to have a simple answer. But today, the path to prosperity seems murkier than ever. We discuss the wealth distribution dominated by baby boomers, the impact of education and income growth, the challenges of homeownership, and the role of technology and mental health in shaping the experiences of Gen Z. The conversation highlights both the opportunities and challenges faced by today's youth, ultimately suggesting a mixed but hopeful future. Takeaways · Younger generations are facing a more complex financial landscape. · Baby boomers hold a significant portion of Australia's wealth. · Education levels among young Australians have increased, but so has student debt. · Income growth for those under 40 has stagnated over the past two decades. · Homeownership rates for younger Australians are declining. · Gen Z may benefit from entering the workforce during a labor shortage. · Technology offers both advantages and challenges for mental health. · Social media addiction is impacting the self-worth of young people. · A massive wealth transfer from baby boomers to younger generations is expected. · The future for young Australians is uncertain but holds potential for improvement.
