Through surveys and in-depth interviews with a high school class that graduated in 1973, the researchers uncover how these individuals – part of the late baby boomer generation – navigated a rapidly changing world.\u003cbr\u003eThrough this process, some patterns emerged: parents’ education played a defining role in shaping their children’s futures, while technology revolutionized workplaces and homes. Gender roles shifted, with spouses sharing domestic duties – though not yet equally. And as they aged, this generation found themselves at the forefront of redefining retirement, balancing longer lives with evolving financial and social expectations. \u003cbr\u003eBeyond personal stories, \u003cem\u003eThe Story of a Generation\u003c\/em\u003e offers a deeper understanding of how broader social forces – economic shifts, cultural changes, and technological advancements – interacted with individual choices. It’s more than just a study of one group of Canadians; it’s a reflection on how societies transform and how people adapt along the way. For anyone interested in sociology, history, or the human experience, this book provides a rare, intimate look at the passage of time – and the stories we leave behind.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368917447029,"sku":"9781487570644","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781487570644_97d4d163-11f7-4824-9d8c-15f9350f15d3.jpg?v=1786022224"},{"product_id":"multilevel-modeling-in-plain-language","title":"Multilevel Modeling in Plain Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you been told you need to do multilevel modeling, but you can′t get past the forest of equations?
