Summary:

"The bottom line: Millennials are looking good. There's a lot of consternation about the Millennial generation--Canada's youngest adults born since the mid-1980s and now reaching their thirties. But the speculation has not been accompanied by sound and comprehensive information--until now. Highly respected sociologist and veteran trend-tracker Reginald Bibby teams up with two GenX colleagues, Joel Thiessen and Monetta Bailey, to provide an up-to-date reading on how Millennials see the world--their values, joys, and concerns, their views of family, sexuality, spirituality, and other Canadians, and their hopes and expectations as they look to the future. Canada's much-criticized Millennials may well be a solid upgrade on previous generations--speaking well for the country's future."-- Provided by publisher
