In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends - increasing longevity and the explosion of technology, among many others - is transforming life as we know it.
The Penn Club of New York invites the Wharton Club of New York to a special event with leading sociologist and business economist Mauro F. Guillén who explains that a new post generational workforce known as “perennials” - individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience - will level the playing field so everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. He argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages that artificially prevent people from reaching their full potential. Join us as Guillén reveals how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer.
