#14 Generation Y versus Generation C – what’s the difference?
July 6, 2009 by Jake Pearce
This week I’m looking at the difference between Generation C and Generation Y, with some big implications for marketing and society at large.
The video is 5 mins 53 seconds long and covers the following:
- A recap of a definition of Generation C itself
- Defining Generation Y commenting on two authorities: Peter Sheahan and Howe & Strauss
- Looking at why these two authorities have radically different views on the characteristics of Generation Y
- Explaining how Generation Y relates to Generation C
- The implications for marketing and society in general.
So – what do you think – is Generation Y selfish or selfless?
I look forward to your comments.
