Jennifer Rayner (2016) | Generation Less

Why are young people worse off than their parents? Why is the gap
between older and younger Australians – in terms of work, wealth
and wellbeing – growing wider? Is Australia cheating the young?


Jennifer Rayner was born into aspirational Australian suburbia
during the Hawke years and came out of age in the long boom of
the Howard era. Her lifetime tracks 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. She holds a PhD from the Australian National
University.
