Also known as Gen Y, they were born between 1982 and 1999. The kids of the Baby Boomers, grew up in material comfort, were the first generation to be exposed to social media. They grew up in a world of multi-tasking, which made them somewhat unfocused. This lack of focus isn\u2019t helped by the tyranny of choice they face. Which degree should I pursue? Having the options to study anything, anywhere and to pursue any career, Millennials doubted their decisions. Am I really in and on the right course? Surely there is more to life than creating spreadsheets? This obsession with meaningful work is slowly taking a backseat to the pressing issue home ownership as Millennials will be the main driver of the housing market. Politics isn&#039;t interested in driving down house prices as the majority of voters already own their homes so the big issues of franking credits and negative gearing won&#039;t be changed in the favour of Millennials. Anger and frustration won\u2019t fix any problems. I suspect that Millennials will instead continue to move away from the big cities to regional hubs, simply because that is where they can afford housing. The regional cities in turn will need to cope with an influx of population. There is a real chance that the Millennials\u2019 need for family-sized housing is the long-hoped-for catalyst events that allows Australia to decentralise population growth.

Which career should I pursue?<\/p>\n<p>The Millennials are perennially unsure whether they are really on the right path, and they are obsessed with meaningful work.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that will lead to positive things since Millennials will start businesses themselves, as they are much more entrepreneurial than Gen X before them.<\/p>\n<p>So they will start all those wonderful businesses to create meaning or in order to completely reinvent the goals of businesses.<\/p>\n<p>That's quite fascinating! <div class=\"adplugg-tag\" data-adplugg-zone=\"the_sentiment_campaign_body_\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>It will also lead to Millennials pushing their big corporate employers to double down on their social corporate responsibility programs.<\/p>\n<p>But that will also lead to, as I call it, the 'work-image-issues' and the Millennial workforce being constantly unsatisfied with the status quo of their jobs because they must be more to life than just creating Excel spreadsheets for their bosses.<\/p>\n<p>That's said, this obsession with 'meaningful work' is probably going to subside a bit, to step into the background, as the Millennials finally reach the family formation stage of the life cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Then all of a sudden, they have more pressing issues \u2014 the meaning of life doesn't need to come from work anymore (it never came from religion as it is a very atheistic generation).<\/p>\n<p>You just grab the meaning of life, you pull this energy out of your own family; you are then happy to financially provide to your family.<\/p>\n<p>The meaning of life doesn't have to be linked to your job, which is great because we can't perfectly match up 13 million jobs with 13 million individual passions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"toc_link\" id=\"the-big-issue-for-the-millennial-generation-is-now-housing\">The big issue for the Millennial generation is now housing!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>They want 3- to 4-bedroom homes because they need a place for their 1.7 kids, and a Zoom-room because many of those Millennials are knowledge workers and work from home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-55802 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer-800x438.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer-600x328.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>So they leave the inner cities of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane behind and they move to wherever they can afford 3- to 4-bedroom homes.<\/p>\n<p>That means the Millennials go to suburbia, the urban fringe, and regional Australia.<\/p>\n<p>That shift of the Millennials out of the inner cities into the rest of the country will continue for at least one more decade.<\/p>\n<p>The big problem for the Millennials is that these houses are freakishly expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Although migration stopped during the pandemic, house prices kept rising, and this is left many millennials confused and a little bitter.<\/p>\n<p>So will anything be done to address this housing affordability issue?
