Went to a brilliant talk today by Bernard Salt who is fantastic on all things demographical. You might have seen his column in The Australian (Thursdays). I first saw him present back in 2003 at a conference in Sydney and so when he came to Perth I was keen to get him to speak to staff about our audience.

He did a 20 minute off the cuff presentation which was very interesting. He’s the guy who said women who are 34 in New Zealand today have as much chance of finding a man their own age as an 84-year-old. That’s because with 84-year-olds – most of their male counterparts have died, and in NZ – men leave to go overseas.

He talked about how things have changed… in 1928 for instance you were born, became an adult effectively at 14, retired at 63 and promptly died.

In the 60s the baby boomers invented teenagerhood – 14-21 years – to mark the transition between childhood and adulthood.
Other problems experienced by these women are just looking for buy viagra a reason to delete your email right away and if that happens, it’s game over before it starts.Well, as it turns out, there is one particularly simple and straightforward subject line that WILL get your emails opened every time.

Gen Y have extended that teenagerhood to about 29 years of age! And at the same time the BB have created a second transition period between working full time and retirement… not that baby boomers retire – they just change their lifestyle! And they finally die at age 81 (average).

Bernard reckons that while the BB might whinge about their Gen Y children living at home – they actually love it – it helps them stay young hanging around young hip things… and rather than empty nest syndrome they have crowded house syndrome, Mum Dad, two kids and their girlfriends/boyfriends who stay over…

And what about us – poor old Gen X – we miss out again. AIDS cut short our summer of love and now both Gen Y and the Boomers are chilling out while we are working at our hardest. No wonder we are disaffected. 🙂
