There is definitely a more general perception that boomers are generally greedy. The kind of theme is a sense of selfishness. And for the younger generations, like Gen Z... The most entitled generation, the most difficult generation in the workplace, that they can't be bothered to check emails, having breakdowns about the difficulty of a nine-to-five job.

You can go all the way back to the Industrial Revolution where things were changing fast and there was a sense that younger generations had a better understanding of the technology that was coming through. Older generations were becoming a bit obsolete.

But I think it's worse today in many ways because we also do have a much more stereotypical view through our social media and media environment of what are the very exaggerated technologies view of the differences between the generations or the characters of individual generations.

What I do is I look at very long-term surveys going back to 50s and 60s. So really big studies like the General Social Survey in the US, massive annual study that gives you measures of all different aspects of attitudes and behaviours. And the key thing is to do it over a long enough term so you can see that this is something to do with this particular generation being different.

No. Very often they don't at all. The gap between young and old today is very similar to the gap between young and old in the past. So baby boomers were also much more comfortable with different changing social norms when they were young compared to their parents and grandparents.

And grandparents, in fact, when I look across decades of this data, there is no particularly big divide between young and old today compared to the past. Although it feels like that partly because our media or social media really emphasize and exaggerate the differences between the generations.
