Demographic changes in the United States have led to challenges for public organizations that are tasked with serving shifting target populations (Pitts, 2007). As public administration scholars, we are tasked with understanding the importance of these recent changes in ethnic diversity and its impact on policy making. This paper seeks to answer the following proposed questions: 1) Does descriptive representation matter in bureaucracies? 2) Does descriptive representation lead to policy…

It’s official: the millennials have overtaken the baby boomers as the largest reigning population in recorded history (Fry.) Millennials are seen as many things by the older generations besides just being larger in size than they are. They have been deemed as “lazy, work-shy narcissists who lack loyalty and jump ship at the drop of a hat” (Maio.) The generation has been said to have no work ethic, an unhealthy dependency on technology, and are happy to live in their mom’s basement. Millennials…

The age cohort groups you will research this week are Tweens, Generation X, and Generation Y. It makes sense that each generation is different from other. But it may seem excessive to make the difference in generations a determining of the most critical behaviors, among other as membership’s social classes, cultures, territories etc. Generation X consumers were born in the years 1965 – 1980, and According to Babin J. Barry & Harris G. Eric, (2014), they represent approximately 40.000.000…

When it comes to millennials, the older generations seem to think that they are extremely narcissistic compared to them when they were the same age. Of course, that is not the case. While most adults seem to take the same stance on millennials, Brook Lea Foster does not. Brook Lea Foster understands that millennials and previous generations are not much different in terms of being narcissistic. Narcissism is not any more present then it was in the baby boomer age or other generations. Around…

Over the past few decades and in the coming decades the structure of United States’ population is expected to change greatly. Changes in population are primarily focused on the older population as it is “important to public and private interest, both socially and economically” (Ortman, Velkoff, 2014, p. 1). To put it into perspective, the population of those 65 and over in 2050 is expected to be 83.7 million compared to the 431 million in 2012 mostly due to the baby boomer generation. While the…

Generation X, or Gen X, is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to 1980. Generation X is a relatively smaller demographic cohort sandwiched between two larger demographic cohorts, the baby boomers and the millennials. Generation Xers as children grew up in an era when divorce was…

Kyurstina, your discussion board addressed a lot of the issues facing diversity in the workplace today. I especially enjoyed the section which discussed the age difference between employees. One of my favorite classes that I have taken through Liberty spent a lot of time discussing the generation gap between employees. In order to fully understand it, one must understand the mindset of the eras. For instance, it has been stated that Baby Boomers, those born between 1946-1962, live to work;…

The definition of Snowflake Generation, is “the generation of people who became adults in the 2010s, viewed as being less resilient and more prone to taking offence than previous generations,” According to the Collins English Dictionary. The modern usage and definition of Snowflake…

The majority of our business and civic leaders are Baby Boomers and Generation X. However, the time is nearing when the Millennials will be the new generation of leaders and decision makers. Let’s see how the Millennials will connect, get involved, and what impact will they have on our…
