Free eBooks Generation Less: How Australia Is Cheating The Young (Redback) Available To Downloads
A country that makes no room for the young is a country that will forfeit a fair future. This must not become Australia.Today’s young Australians are the first generation since the Great Depression to be worse off than their parents. And so, just as we have seen the gap between rich and poor widen over recent decades, we’re beginning to see young and old pull apart in ways that will wear at our common bonds.It’s time to decide what kind of future we want for this country. Will it be one where young Australians enjoy the same opportunities to build stable, secure lives as their parents and grandparents had? And can we do right by the elderly without making second-class citizens of the young. Urgent and convincing, Generation Less investigates the life prospects of young Australians. It looks at their emotional life, their access to credit, education and fulfilling jobs, and considers whether they will ever be able to buy a house. A wake-up call for young and old alike, Generation Less is a smart, funny and ground-breaking blueprint for a fairer future.‘A bold and original work. Jennifer Rayner is one of the most important new voices in Australia today.’ —George MegalogenisJennifer Rayner was born into the aspirational suburbia of the Hawke years, and came of age in the long boom of the Howard era. Her lifetime has tracked alongside the yawning inequalities that have opened up across the Australian community in the past 30 years. She has worked as a federal political adviser, an international youth ambassador in Indonesia and a private sector consultant, and holds a PhD from the Australian National University.

A thoughtful read that certainly gets you thinking about this highly important and current issue in Australia. I is vital to our country that we manage to get on top of this both economically as well as in the interests of fairness. I found the author started to sound a bit too much like a "preacher" towards the end for my taste but overall I would recommend this book as essential reading to all Australians concerned about the way our country is headed.
