BABY boomers are blocking ways of solving the housing crisis facing the young because they ‘live in another world’, Sajid Javid said yesterday. Older people oppose development projects and unfairly accuse millennials of spending on ‘nights out and smashed avocados’ instead of saving for deposits, the communities secretary claimed. He said boomers ‘who have long since paid off their own mortgage’ are ‘not facing up to the reality of modern life’. ‘Without affordable, secure, safe housing we risk creating a rootless generation,’ said the MP (pictured).

Anti-poverty advocates on Tuesday implored world leaders to combat the massive wealth gap described in the annual Global Wealth Report released by Credit Suisse, which showed that the world's richest one percent own just over half of the global wealth. "This report highlights the huge gulf between the haves and the have nots—the world's richest one percent own more than everyone else combined while the poorest half of the population share less than a penny of every...

You've heard it before: Millennials are killing businesses. However, if you think about it for more than a few seconds, it's pretty obvious to see why.

President Trump is sometimes criticized for what his critics say is a lack of support for the First Amendment based on his frequent attacks on the mainstream media. But it appears that he's not the only American who thinks there's no place for viewpoints that a listener finds offensive. Some millennials — the largest demographic in the country — do not seem to be a big fan of the fact that the First Amendment protects hate speech, especially millennials in college.

The typical student debt load for millennials in the U.S. is $41,200, surpassing their median annual income of $38,800. One impact of that burden: first-time home purchases are being delayed by seven years. That’s according to survey results released Monday by the National Association of Realtors and the nonprofit group American Student Assistance.

Far and wide, young people consider climate change to be the world's most serious issue, according to the World Economic Forum's 2017 Global Shaper Survey of more than 31,000 millennials from 186 countries and territories. Close to half (48.8 percent) of those surveyed chose "climate change/destruction of nature" as their No. 1 concern. This is the third year in a row that 18-to-35-year-olds declared the issue as their biggest global concern.

Athleisure could be on its way out.

Younger viewers think they’re paying too much for streaming services — but they’re still willing to sign up if they want to watch a particular show. That could be good news for the Walt Disney Co., which earlier this month said it would launch ESPN- and Disney-branded streaming services, pulling some of its own programs from Netflix. This move “ultimately gives us much greater control of our own destiny,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said during a third-quarter earnings call.

On the day that Aurora theater shooter James Holmes was convicted on two dozen counts of first-degree murder, a 24-year-old man opened fire at few states to the east in Chattanooga, Tennessee, leaving five military personnel dead. That same day Dylann Roof was given a trial date. The coincidence of tragedy seemed to send a message: we’re producing twenty-something, male mass killers faster than we can prosecute them.

The window for hope is closing rapidly for the planet. But young activists are demonstrating their power at the ballot box to push for a different future.

"We estimate rider growth has declined from a 3-5% annual growth pace pre-financial crisis to close to 0% today," wrote Beckel. "If our back-tested model is predictive of the future, we expect rider growth will dip into negative territory in 2017 and stay in negative territory for at least the next five years."

People are really into exploring their views with the perfect use of this internet world. Hence everyone has a keen interest in developing a rock solid social presence through a blog. What’s so special about this era of millennial blogging? Why do people call it a phase of youngsters? The answer lies within you, your audience, and this virtual world of people connecting with each other from different parts of the world. (These millennials were born between 1981-2001).

If you’re under 35, you’re a millennial. Recent culinary trends suggest that, while reading this, you might have an overpriced latte in one hand, and a fancy piece of toast smothered with avocadoes in the other. And some suggest that you’d rather waste your money on an Instagrammable breakfast than make sensible investments like buying a house. Well, so says conventional grumpy wisdom, most recently articulated by Australian tycoon Tim Gurner, who made international headlines this month for blasting young home buyers for their spending habits.

College-aged millennials today are far more likely than the general population to be religiously unaffiliated. This is true when they are compared to previous generations as well. In fact, the Pew Research Center documents that millennials are the least outwardly religious American generation, where “one in four are unaffiliated with any religion, far more than the share of older adults when they were ages 18 to 29.”

On the cover of British Vogue in 1948, an unthinkable figure appeared. An elegant woman turned toward the camera with a set of pearls, a trim suit, and hair that was (gasp!) visibly gray. The fictional character of Mrs. Exeter appeared twice on the cover. Since then, rarely — if ever — would a woman approaching 60 appear on that coveted platform by herself.

A survey conducted online in February by research agency TNS found that 59 percent of millennials polled have “no idea” when they will be able to pay back their student debt. The survey found millennials, defined as those between the ages of 18 and 35, have an average student debt of $41,286.60. That’s significantly higher than the national average amount of debt for college graduates, which the Department of Education determined is $29,400.

Baby Boomers: your millennial children are worse off than you. With a median household income of $40,581, millennials earn 20 percent less than boomers did at the same stage of life, despite being better educated, according to a new analysis of Federal Reserve data by the advocacy group Young Invincibles.

The consensus of most people who study labor automation is that the total number of jobs is not going to keep up with population growth as we have seen in the past – at minimum. However, job prospects will likely get a lot worse for those between the ages of 18-34 as time goes on, mainly because of the types of jobs that are easiest to automate.

Smartphones are everywhere now and for many of us they serve as a constant companion. They keep us continually connected, filling gaps in our day, entertaining us, and demanding our attention with a string of notifications. Because they offer a convenient alternative to face-to-face conversations, and at times they butt into our chats directly, there’s a growing realization that they may be killing the art of conversation.
