Abstract
Title: The changing experience of young adulthood in the Asia-Pacific in the context of the Asset Economy
Young people are coming of age in changing times but generational stereotypes of the young (and the old) are often misleading. This presentation will explore the changing experience of young adulthood, drawing on the Life Patterns study that has tracked three generations of Australians from youth into adulthood and making comparisons to international data, particularly from the Asia Pacific. It will highlight how this period of life is being reshaped by cultural shifts and the rise of the asset economy . Intergenerational support, financial and in-kind, and the capacity to invest in the self and to build an asset portfolio in young adulthood, is becoming more significant to life outcomes than it was for previous generations.
