Daily: MIND THE AGE GAP – Why the War of the Generations is a myth

<p>Does the year we were born really shape us people? Are Gen X Snowflakes really battling Baby Boomers in an intergenerational war? Friend of the podcast Professor Bobby Duffy returns with Ros Taylor to discuss his latest book <a href="https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/generations/ " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Generations</em></a>, why age cohorts aren’t so consistent, and how COVID has changed Gen Z forever…</p><ul><li><em>“The cliches around generations are presented as cohort characteristics. But Gen Z are more materialistic just because they’re young.” </em></li><li><em>“It’s simply a myth that Gen Z are more risk averse.”&nbsp;</em></li><li><em>“Gen Z are probably having less sex because they're drinking less.” </em></li><li><em>“Intergenerational separation - not conflict - is the problem.” </em></li><li><em>“Gen X got a cool name, and some cool bands and films. That's about all we have going for us.”</em></li></ul><p>Presented by Ros Taylor. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson.
