Data show that hard work doesn’t pay off for younger Albertans today by comparison
with past generations. The root causes of this problem have less to do with younger
generations than their treatment by older ones as a result of past policy decisions.
Those decisions have created major problems now that were predictable then. While
there remains time for Alberta Boomers to leave a proud legacy for their kids’ and
grandchildren’s generations, the work to build a Better Generational Deal needs to
start now.
