Gulliver, our travelling protagonist, observed strange and imagined countries, and at one point he was held prisoner by a race of tiny people he called the society of Lilliputians.<\/p>\n<p>Almost daily, the media and marketing community encounters a \u201csociety\u201d of consumers called the \u201cmillennials.\u201d Here are a few recent headlines:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<strong>\u201cMillennials distrustful of Canada\u2019s food system, survey finds\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n\u201cThe war on millennials: Why they really do have it harder than you did\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n\u201cMillennials in denial over costs of mounting debt\u201d<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>Like Swift\u2019s Lilliputians, millennials possess imagined and mythical characteristics that go beyond the constraints of a simple age-based target group, assuming characteristics that say more about the \u201ctargeters\u201d than about the targeted. Are millennials really something special or are they simply an age group \u2014 a kind of ageist version of those Lilliputians?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMillennial\u201d is a term coined in 1987 to categorize an age cohort born between 1980 and 2000. Today these folks are 16-36 years of age \u2013 a close match to the popular 18-34 media age break.<\/p>\n<p>Also referred to as Generation Y, Generation Me or Echo Boomers, this group has been endlessly analyzed, defined and redefined and the result is a confusing pile of contradictions as this list attests:<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"10;\" align=\"center\">\n<thead><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Millennials:<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Generation Y:<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Generation Me<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Echo Boomers<\/td>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Civic Minded<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Narcissistic<\/td>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Detached<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Network<\/td>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Coddled<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Ignored<\/td>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Work\/Life<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Money<\/td>\n<tr>\n<\/tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Team Players<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Loners<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">Prudent<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">Extravagant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tfoot><\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n<p>There are 8.4 million millennials in Canada today \u2014 almost 30% of Canada\u2019s 12+ population. The 18-34 demographic is roughly the same size as the 35-54 and 55+ segments, which begs the question\u2026 is this a target or a census?<\/p>\n<p>One way of determining if millennials are a target full of superheroes or just an overblown age group is to compare today\u2019s millennials to the 18-34 cohort from 20 years ago who grew up to become today\u2019s Generation X (now 35-54 year olds). In other words, are they different than the 20-year-old versions of themselves?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/18-34-chart-200px.jpg\" alt=\"18-34 demographic comparison\" width=\"226\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-18333\" style=\"margin-left: 10px\" \/>To do this, we profiled the current 18-34 group using Vividata and turned to an old PMB \u201997 study to determine the profile of the 18-34 demographic from yesteryear.<\/p>\n<p>(A big thanks to IMS who were able to track down the old PMB \u201997 study and blow the dust off the software needed to read this \u201cancient\u201d data.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>A LOT HASN\u2019T REALLY CHANGED VERY MUCH<\/p>\n<p>There are a few more of them now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are 8% more 18-34-year-olds today compared to 20 years ago, which matches the growth rate for the overall population.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nTHE AGE PROFILE HASN\u2019T CHANGED MUCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Back in 1996, 18-24-year-olds made up 37% of all 18-34-year-olds. Today, the 18-24 year age composition is comparable. A common marketer mistake is the belief that millennials are 20-year-olds. Twenty-somethings do not a millennial make.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Income growth is inflationary.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1996, 44% of this age group earned $50,000+. Today, 44% of millennials earn $75,000+. The buying power between these two earning levels is comparable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home ownership is stable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twenty years ago, 64% of those aged 18-34 owned their home and the figure today is 61%. The degree of financial hardship behind that owned home has probably intensified over the 20 years, but the desire for home ownership is unchanged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kids at home is the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twenty years ago, 47% of those aged 18-34 had kids under the age of 18 in the home and this proportion hasn\u2019t changed.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nMarital status is unchanged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, 44% of millennials are married\/living together \u2014 virtually identical to the proportion (42%) 20 years ago.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nBUT SOME THINGS HAVE CHANGED<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nToday\u2019s millennials have higher levels of educational attainment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since my great-grandfather\u2019s era, every generation has exhibited a rising level of educational attainment and today\u2019s millennial is no exception. BA\/post-grad degrees are held by 30% of today\u2019s 18-34-year-olds, compared to only 16% who had those degrees in 1996. Yes, millennials are better educated, but no more so than the average for the 12 + population.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Community size has changed: bigger markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the 20-year period, the proportion of millennials living in one-million+ markets grew from 34% to 51%. In some cases, the market grew around the millennial and in other cases the millennial gravitated to the big city. Bigger markets, yes \u2013 but it was a migration that involved the entire population of Canada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media consumption habits are very different.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This age cohort was raised at the bosom of online. It is no surprise that today\u2019s 18-34-year old is a heavy user of the internet and a much lighter user of every other medium. Twenty years ago, 18-34-year-olds were average users of all legacy media.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s 18-34-year-olds drink a bit less beer and liquor, but have about the same level of car ownership than their 20-year-old counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>They are less brand loyal and more price sensitive than 18-34-year-olds were back in 1996. But then aren\u2019t we all.<\/p>\n<p>So, the next time a targeting guru or newspaper reporter uses the term \u201cmillennial,\u201d think \u201cLilliputian.\u201d The titles exist because authors have attributed imagined characteristics to both of these societies.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rob Young is PHD Canada\u2019s director of insights and analytics. <\/p>\n<p>This article appears in <a href=\"http:\/\/cmdc.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CMDC\u2019s<\/a> 2016\/2017 Media Digest.
