Generational Wealth Divide Widens
Description
A widening economic chasm is emerging between older and younger generations, with experts warning it could hit record highs soon. While all ages are better off than in 2000, younger people are struggling more in housing, wages, and environmental costs, while older generations benefit from rising property values. Homeownership dreams are fading for younger families as prices soar beyond incomes, wage growth stalls, and extreme weather hits hardest where it hurts most—low-income households. Meanwhile, some older women face financial strain due to family disruption and weak superannuation, compounded by soaring aged care costs.
