What's in the report?

Dive into the topics driving each generation, the key consumer behaviours brands need to know about and speculative future scenarios to 2030.

Baby Boomers
There is an upcoming milestone in the Boomers’ generational journey. By 2030 they will all have reached the average Western retirement age of 65, supercharging a wider re-assessment of later life purpose along the way.

Generation X
Having long lived in the shadow of Baby Boomers and Millennials, Gen X are racing against time to make their influence felt, while juggling their care-giving and financial responsibilities.

Millennials
After a stuttering start to their adult lives, the first generation to use the internet as children are hitting their prime earning years while rebelling against traditional nominated life paths.

Generation Z
Gen Z are stepping into adulthood carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Without the tools or role models to help them enact the change they want to see, they find themselves paralysed by paradox.  

Generation Alpha
This is the first generation to be born entirely in the 21st century, and many of the technologies, careers and crises that will define and shape the lives of Gen Alpha are yet to exist.

‘In many ways, this is a report about ageing, no matter the age group. It is a demand for an imminent re-assessment of what later life is and how it is referred to. This is also powering new perspectives, particularly around the adoption of Flat Age mindsets and a much-needed focus on a new set of life stage markers.’
