“We are moving into a world where there are going to be proportionately many, many more older humans than we’ve ever, as a species, experienced before. What they want and need, how they live, work and behave, who and what they vote for, and what they actually do with all those extra years, will affect everyone. The maturity of later adulthood gifts humanity the potential for salvation through wisdom. The complementary trends unleashed by gender and generational balance may yield a mass of older men giving back and older women leading. Watch this space.”
Avivah Wittenberg-Cox in Harvard Business Review
“Wittenberg-Cox sees women and gender-balance as the canary in the coal mine for everything else. “I have always thought that the 20th century saw the rise of women, and the 21st century will be about whether men accept that rise or backlash against it,” she says. “And right now, what you see is both.””
