Public talk explores inequality between and within generations
A professor from the School of Planning at the University of Waterloo will give a public talk in Vancouver this week that will explore the growing inequality between generations, which is changing the fabric of our communities
Professor Markus Moos is the founder of Generationed City, a research project about the employment and housing challenges facing people in cities in Canada and the U.S., particularly young adults and millennials.
The talk aims to put forth a new way to frame the conversation on intergenerational inequalities — a frame that recognizes the unique challenges facing different generations.
“There are growing divisions among generations in terms of employment prospects, earnings, housing situation, residential location, and various other characteristics," said Moos. "Young adults are facing unique challenges, but these need to be kept in perspective of the larger changes in the economy impacting all generations."
