Synopsis

Demographics not only define who we are, where we live, and how our numbers change. For those who can read beyond the raw figures, they open up hidden business opportunities that lie ahead.What will happen when retiring Boomers free up jobs? How will Generation Y alter supermarkets? Which states will have the most dynamic workforces? Will American manufacturing rebound as Asia’s population declines?Upside puts this powerful yet little-understood science to work finding answers. Demographer Kenneth Gronbach synthesizes reams of data to show how generations impact markets and economies, and how to target promising trends. Lively and full of surprises, the book explains: What each age group is likely to buy now and in coming decades • How profits dovetail with consumer numbers • What sectors are likely to grow or lag • How to make sense of the numbers to chart your own path • And more.As waves of people are born and age, fortunes and futures are determined. Whether you’re an investor, marketer, executive, or entrepreneur, Upside helps you spot the potential for profits in ever-shifting demographics.

Pretty fascinating actually and a well written book that doesn't take itself too seriously. Would make sense that knowing how many people there are in certain age demographics that businesses one could predict the rise and fall of particular industries. Good stuff for thinking about the future of on......more

Dated and USA This book concentrates on the USA with a bit about the rest of the world at the end. It is also about 6 years old, with some data up to ten. That said it's an introduction to the general principles of demographics, the fact that the dataset is neither current nor local I overlooked.......more

Goodreads review by MICHAEL on October 13, 2017

not born beyond my generation, reading this broad insight over multiple generations was definitely an abundant resource. Many generations think too much of other generations without looking at the specs, definitely.......more
