The economic gap between generations is on track to reach record levels
The economic gap between older and younger generations in Australia is widening and may reach record levels. Research indicates that younger Australians are facing increasing challenges in areas such as housing and economic stability. While all generations have seen improvements since 2000, the disparities in wealth accumulation and home ownership are becoming more pronounced for younger people.
- ▪Inequality between generations is growing, particularly in economic, housing, and environmental domains.
- ▪It now takes an average of 11 years to save for a 20 percent deposit on a home.
- ▪Home ownership among people aged under 35 is at levels not seen since 1947.
