A New Generational Divide: Living With(out) The Bank Of Mum And Dad (Eliza Filby)
Historian Dr Eliza Filby says we must rewrite the generational contract and acknowledge that opportunity now depends on the bank of mum and dad, not just what we earn or learn.
How can Millennials, Gen Zs and Gen As thrive in a world where so much success depends on having access to the Bank of Mum and Dad?
Historian Dr Eliza Filby 鈥� an expert in generational identity 鈥� tells Amol that society needs to shift in three major ways to mitigate the 鈥渞upture鈥� between young and old: in values, education and wealth.
Amol speaks with her about her book 鈥業nheritocracy鈥� which calls for a radical redefining of meritocracy. They also discuss the shifts in parenthood and the evolving household roles of men and women, and 鈥榢idulthood鈥� - where young people move into adulthood in their early 30s instead of their 20s.
Radical with Amol Rajan is a Today podcast for 麻豆社 Radio 4. Episode are released every Thursday and you can also listen to them on 麻豆社 Sounds: /sounds/brand/p0gg4k6r聽 聽聽
