Columbia Business School adjunct professor Jeremy Ney spoke with The National Memo about the widening economic divide between Baby Boomers and younger generations, including Millennials and Gen Z. Ney explained that long-standing structural forces—such as housing affordability, wage stagnation, student debt, and unequal asset growth—continue to shape opportunity and financial security across generations. He noted that without targeted policy interventions, these gaps are likely to deepen, affecting everything from homeownership rates to long-term wealth building and social mobility.
