Crudely speaking that those at the top ranks are essentially Boomers who saw in the previous unravelling/recession late 80's early 90's know that those older workers at the time who where made redundant never recovered their loses or just never came back. Further a increase of roughly 11,000 persons continued to work beyond 65 (N.Z retirement age) the previous year now this number has increased nearly 90,000 persons over 65. O.k the stats don't define the reasons, quality, nature, hours of work so how much good management jobs, business operators, part-time/full-time I do know. But all the same is quite compelling. So it appears that there is less job 'reshuffling'? Meaning the 'Charlie effect' where G-Xer's stuck in mid management roles that more likely to be made redundant during the recession as they will never be heirs to the throne? Or the 'Madonna effect' where the Boomer's just don't want to retire as it makes them appear unyouthful & no longer in power. Because the Boomer's brought about the 'youth culture' & still want to connect to their own youthful element of collectiveness they will most probably relate & be in more common ground, more generous with there own G -Yer's children. Whereas the Gen - Xers parents aged more quickly & 'fend for yourself was the favour of our parents. X parents & Boomer's on the whole did pretty well in their youth & mid lives & both most likely live on par in old age but I have a sneaky feeling that X-gen's won't be given much from their own parents, whereas in time the Boomer's will probably treat their children with earlier inheritances & grandparent time.

This could mean that although people want to have sex, they might not be able to afford a child so they buy protection. This also aligns with the last recession where there were fewer births and then a mini babyboom when the market came back. More condoms means more "safe" sex.

Examination Of The Generation Gap – This was an idea of mine hatched in 2006. I invited anyone reading my website to join me in an AIM chat room dedicated to a generational roundtable discussion. Boomers, Gen Xers and Gen Yers were all offered the chance to come together and figure out how we could better this country. A year later, USAToday examined the generation gap and found that the difference in cost of living between those in their mid-50s to mid-60s was $200,000 more than people in their 30s. What’s more, a blog called “Brazen Careerist” by Penelope Trunk offered a quiz in 2007 to help people determine what generation they belonged to. Odd, considering more than a year before that (April 2006) I clearly defined and renamed all the different generations from 1912-2006. How do I know Miss Trunk stole my idea? She reads this website.
