Munk Dialogue with Jean Twenge
A clash of generations
On this Munk debate podcast, we’re talking about the clash of generations: Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. How are these age groups – with vastly different life experiences and upbringings – interacting and competing with each other at home, at school, and in the workforce? Author and psychologist Jean Twenge, often referred to as the “reigning expert on generational change”, argues that evolving technology, more so than major historical events like the great recession of 2008 or the terrorist attacks of September 11th, has had a greater impact on how generations have come to see themselves, and what they want for the future.
She joins us for a wide ranging discussion to dispel common misconceptions about certain generations (IE/millennials aren’t as doomed as they believe to be) and why the young are postponing adult milestones for longer than any previous generation.
“The biggest influences on generations overall are technology, individualism and a slower life, meaning that the whole trajectory from infancy to old age has slowed down.”
