Episode Details

Baby Boomers - they bought property when it was cheap, they built businesses, shaped policies, and accumulated enormous wealth…

And now, as they move into retirement, they're still influencing almost every aspect of our economy.

So here's the question… are Baby Boomers the luckiest generation in history - or simply the most misunderstood?

And more importantly…what happens next as this generation transitions from wealth creation to wealth transfer?

In this episode, Simon Kuestenmacher and I examine the profound influence of the Baby Boomer generation on Australia's economy, society, and housing market.

We discuss how Boomers' large size shaped education, healthcare, and infrastructure needs, and the implications for future generations.

We explore shifts in Boomers' workforce participation, including longer working lives and phased retirement, and their wealth accumulation strategies.

Additionally, we analyse the economic impact of Boomers' retiring, including workforce shortages and knowledge loss, and the evolving consumer behaviour of Boomers.

Join us as we provide insights to help you make informed business and investment decisions in the face of demographic changes.
