From CCPA:
“Is Austerity Fueling the Generational Divide?”
We are seeing very troubling divisions growing between generations, with younger people joining the labour force and starting families in a time of great economic insecurity, and without access to affordable housing, post-secondary education or child care. At the same time, the poverty rate for seniors is on the rise.
The event will explore the factors behind growing inequality between and within generations.
Markus Moos, an Assistant Professor in the School of Planning at University of Waterloo who studies urban generational dynamics and inequality. Markus is the founder of Generationed City, a research project about the employment and housing challenges facing people in Canadian and US cities, especially young adults and Millennials.
