Age Bracket Dept: An ambitious poll by a Paris-based think tank provides hints. It probes the values of tomorrow's ruling generation -the 16-to-29 age bracket -in 25 countries, according to Montreal Gazette. The poll for the centre-right Fondation pour l'innovation politique surveyed 1,000 young people in each country last summer. For comparison's sake, it also polled 300 people aged 30 to 50, which includes the last several years of the baby-boom generation -sometimes called the "Me Generation." What will the Canadians of tomorrow be like? We've heard a lot about Canada's changing ethnic and racial makeup. But what about its evolving values and aspirations? The poll suggests that Canada's up-and-coming generation could be more individualistic and materialistic than the preceding one. Retirees, take note: This generation could be less committed to Canada's social safety net. As
reported in the news.
